We will try to quickly get our hands on a device for a full benchmark.
At 349 euros, this 1.2 GHz model has no exceptionnal value for the money against the competition and it is probably wiser to wait for the 1.5 GHz model using an OMAP 4460 which should be available early 2012.

Hmmmm well I’ve just checked the 4430s on TI’s website and your probably right in saying there just 1GHz overclocked but still If Archos can get a stable oc to 1.2GHz then I’ll wait for a oc kernel.
So if the 1.2GHz tabs have TI OMAP 4430 cpu then I would guess the 1GHz models would have 4430s cpus aswell just underclocked.
If this is true then i’d hope someone comes up with a overclock kernel soon. 😉
Well that’s a possibility, but I’d rather think that the 1.2 GHz model is just a 1 GHz CPU overclocked.
1 GHz is the reference frequency for the 4430 at TI web site and datasheet.
TI CPUs usually overclock well, was the case for the OMAP 3 on Archos Gen8.
I would presume a hacked version of the 1.2 ghz firmware could be applied to the a 1 ghz model. The drivers might even be there for all the hardware as well… Hopefully it won’t take a genius too long to figure out a way of doing that 🙂
