2nd Gen Ipod Touch Gets a Boost
In part, the differences stem from the fact that the 2nd Generation
iPod Touch had its processor quietly boosted to 532MHz. Meanwhile, the
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone and 1st Generation iPod Touch run at 412MHz.
However, the differences must extend beyond this simple change, as
there seem to be substantial performance differences between the
similarly-clocked models as well.From Handheld Games Corp’s experience, the 2nd Generation iPod touch is
the fastest model “by far”, followed by the iPhone 3G, iPhone and
finally the 1st Generation iPod touch lagging behind (at least with
respect to 3D gaming). Due to these differences, Handheld Games Corp’s
CEO does not recommend anyone interested in gaming to even consider
buying a used 1st Generation iPod touch.
