New3DS exclusives are able to clock the CPU at 804MHz, but this appears to be limited to the currently running application/app cores. Timed by running svcGetSystemTick on either side of a long idle loop to stay in the current process context. svcGetSystemTick uses a tick counter running at 268MHz in this mode. | |||

On New3DS: when Home Menu is active, the system runs at 804MHz. For everything else, it's 268MHz, except when the app(let) has the required flag set. See [[NCCH/Extended_Header|here]] and [[PDN_Registers|here]] for details, regarding clock-rate and cache. | On New3DS: when Home Menu is active, the system runs at 804MHz.
