In this article, it looks like underclocking on both the core and memory was done.
"be aware that Cypress is a cheeky and tricky beast when it comes to its memory interface, due to its re-training capacity, which probably tightens timings for lower memory clocks, and EDC, which may interfere at higher clocks, where transmission errors may occur, forcing re-transmission and thus lowering performance. We'd expect EDC to be a non-issue in our case, since we're not going out of spec with the clocking, but retraining will make the waters a tad murkier...sadly, that's one parameter we can't mess with for the time being."
