Question On Arm Processor..

[Nickmon]

The ARM processor is a 920T in the gp2x, on:

http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM920T.html

There is a 922T with more cache, would it be possible to upgrade to this and there be much benefit?

Nope.

The gp2x is built around the mmsp2 chip.
Which contains an arm920t and an arm940t, along with a bunch
of other stuff for video decoding etc.

 

[Nickmon]

OK its a combined chip.

Which would make the replacement of one a little hard...

Wonder if in the future the 922 will be the standard in the mmsp

Honestly, you wouldn't earn a 5% over speed just because of a larger cache.

The Gp2x's production run won't change SoC's, it'd be too big a departure from the existing design. There's too much risk of breaking compatibility with accessories, drivers, programs, or even basic OS components themselves.
