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.

By contrast, the first iPhone, the first iTouch, and the iPhone 3G all have the same 412MHz processor. According to Handheld Games, the 2nd generation iPod touch is the fastest model “by far” with respect to 3D gaming.
