14 DAY TRIAL // In the world of small screens, having a processor that can run at speeds higher than 1GHz is a great thing, and the same applies to the CPUs that can be overclocked at much higher rates than what they support by default.
Today, the Samsung Galaxy S is the one to show impressive performance levels when overclocked to almost double its normal processor rate.
According to this thread on XDA Developers, the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant is stable when overclocked to 1.6GHz, though there are great chances that it would manage to deliver 2GHz speeds too, also stable.
The guys who managed to make Galaxy S perform at such impressive levels note that they managed to overclock both the GPU and CPU, and that they feel they did not reach the full potential of this device.
The team is focused on optimizing the kernel with the best toolchains available, while pushing both the GPU and the CPU up.
Here's what they say when presenting their achievements:
CPU Target 2.0GHz, Current Maximum Overclock 1.6 Stable (Time limitation only, havent rebuilt to try more) GPU Target 85 FPS Stable Bench, Current 78 FPS At current this is a JFD Stable build thats more than fairly bulletproof on battery life. To use with JI6 builds just flash Eugene's JFD/JI6 support package.
To prove that they managed to achieve what they say above, a series of screenshots were published, along with some benchmarking results, though nothing is yet available for download.
“Battery life has proven about the same as traditional OC/UV kernels. This is NOT our finished product, this is an Alpha for proof of concept for other developers. [...] There is no failsafe, this does not require SetCPU to engage. It comes out of the box at 1.6GHz with steppings of 1,2,4,8,16” the post continues.
As progress is made, more details on the team's achievements would be published. Stay tuned for more on this.
