2G iPod Touch fastest “by far” of the Apple family for games
CrunchGear —
... The developer in this interview notes that they could put 500 more polygons on each player in their tennis game when coding for the Touch 2G, which also suggests that the graphics hardware has been clocked up as well. Of course, the Touch doubtless has less stuff taking up its RAM and cache due to not functioning as a phone and internet device as well. Makes me want one even more. ...

Faster iPod Touch pointing to faster iPhone?
jkOnTheRun —
... much to me for a few reasons. First: I spend $599 for the handset, although I did get $100 back that I put towards the purchase of Leopard. Second, I purchased and pay a monthly fee to Verizon Wireless for a USB 3G adapter... I'd rather have the 3G to use on my other larger screened and more capable devices. Third, AT&T's 3G coverage in my area was spotty at the time. Finally, I felt it was safe to assume that Apple would boost the processor at some point. From the sounds of it, they might have done just that in September, only they did it with the iPod Touch. ...

... they continually make modest upgrades generation by generation? While we've only two generations of the platform to go by, the differences portend the latter will be the path taken by Apple. That's probably better overall, but it also implies that in the future — say, a couple of years from now — there could be iPhone and iPod Touch models with enough additional horsepower that some software, especially games, might have to be written for one generation or another.

Alice Hill's Real Tech News - Independent Tech —
... Editor-in-Chief, RealTechNews Both the iPod Touch 2G and iPhone 3G use the same CPU, but apparently the second generation iPod Touch is clocking its quite a bit faster, according to a report .

3D Power Is Highly Varied Across iPhone/iPod Touch Iterations [Apple]
Gizmodo —
... while it's technically good news that the new iPhone is a more powerful gaming machine than the old iPhone, it's an unsettling proposition when you consider that there's only one store for the entire iPhone/iPod touch platform. And if this performance trend continues, which we expect it will, consumers will either be forced to upgrade for an optimum gaming experience or have their smarter, newer hardware dumbed down. Honestly, neither scenario sounds all that wonderful at the moment. [Touch Arcade via ...

... a hard to gulp proposition for you. We know processing speeds isn’t the only way to measure performance, but then it is probably the best way out to do it anyhow.

... processors, the Apple iPhone, Apple iPhone 3G and Apple iPod Touch run 412MHz while the 2nd Gen Apple iPod Touch runs 532MHz. But the differences on the game stem beyond this processor change as similarly clocked models show.
According to Mobile developer Handheld Games Corp, the fastest game player is the 2nd Gen iPod Touch closely followed by the Apple iPhone 3G, and thus suggest to any serious mobile gamer not to consider the 1st Gen iPod Touch.

... was born (video below). Though largely demonstrative, the game uses the iPhone's accelerometer for input and steering while routing the game's video through a video-out cable to the TV. Freeverse noted that the program ran best on the second-generation iPod touch, which includes a 532MHz processor compared to the iPhone and iPhone 3G's 412MHz chip.
