The above clock-rates were calculated by calling svcGetSystemTick in sets of 5(call it, execute svcSleepThread for 1s, then call it again), then the average of those were calculated. The clock-rate listed above applies for *all* 4 New3DS MPCores. This is referring to the "~268123480 Hz" clock-rate.

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. svcSleepThread + svcGetSystemTick implies 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.

There are multiple clock-rate multiplier values available in [[PDN_Registers|hardware]](on New3DS at least), but since the relevant code is only implemented in the New3DS ARM11-kernel, the only non-normal clockrate available with official kernel code is 3x.
