    i can't recall seeing this topic so i wanted to start a thread to ask about it.
    From what i have read, the i.MX6Q chip is a 1.2 Ghz chip. The other embedded boards built by SECO have these shown at 1.2 Ghz

    Why is the UDOO i.MX6Q board setup for 1Ghz (really 996 Mhz) and not for the 1.2 Ghz its rated at.

    I know what you mean. However there are many implementations of i.MX6 clocked at 1GHz. Heat issues perhaps?

    So the real question here would be how do we go about changing this? Im more then sure I could sort out some cooling issues in exchange for the performance increase.....

    Well i have overclocking tests om my list of things to do but havent been able to do it right yet.. I have eveything i need to do all the thermal testing just havent dine it. I did just abiut comolete performance testing a bunch of uSD cards i hope to get those results posted.

    When i get to increasing the clock speed we will see how it does at 1.2 amd beyond :-D

    Further info:

    There are many i.MX6 models, split between: Industrial, Commercial & Automotive sectors. Very slight differences between them, the major one being clock speeds.

    Ours, I believe, is Commercial and these are all 1GHz.

    funny, when i was doing research on performance benchmarking i found the exact same thing, one model is a 1GHz, benchmarked at 996Mhz.. sounds familiar.. so yea i guess we are just working with the 1Ghz model
