Raspberry Pi Hits 1GHz With Official 'Turbo Mode'

[wraggster]

The Raspberry Pi, which was recently used to build a cluster (http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/09/12/145256/university-team-builds-lego-and-raspberry-pi-cluster), has officially been given a 'Turbo Mode' by The Raspberry Pi Foundation, thus enabling overclocking. It will bump the frequency of the on-board processor as high as 1GHz (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2008) as long as the temperature stays below 85C. The patch would dynamically increase the voltage and frequency (http://paritynews.com/hardware/item/336-raspberry-pi-clocks-1ghz-with-official-turbo-mode-patch) of the core until the thermals hold. According to the Foundation, users have the option of choosing one of five peak frequencies, the highest being 1GHz."
