GO PREMIUM vs GO 5200

Word has been out... [url="http://"] a "new lineup".
Has this GO PREMIUM all new hardware inside, or is it just the GO 5200 in a new package?
Seeing the photos, specs and features I think it's a rebranded 5200 (so basically old(er) hardware, sold for the same price).

TomTom Hi, the GO Premium will be available in 5 & 6 inch screens, it has an updated CPU and has a number of exciting new features. To find out more go to: https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/sat-nav/car-sat-nav/products/go-premium-5-inch/
Cheers, TomTom Team
So is looks like the hardware is also updated.
Thx. But I don't really see hardware specs in terms of CPU etc. When compared to the GO 5200 the specs are the same.
It more looks like some sort of ROM update on the 5200-device (branded Go Premium), so that IFTTT can be implemented as well.

Have you updated your NAV5 (wi-fi) Device to the latest NavKit v19.101
Here... https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/1113098/new-software-v19-101-available-for-download/p1
Then try a comparison between your NAV5 (wi-fi) Device and the Premium device
I think my GO 6200 with NavKit v19.10... Is faster, less laggy in the Menus and the Start-up from Sleep, to being a usable device, is almost instantaneous

The Dutch Post/Tweet/Whatever... About an Uprated CPU was touted about as fact
Tomtom Moderators & other Tomtom Staff... Stated many times the NAV5 (wi-fi) Devices and the Premium Range have the same CPU and Hardware

Over time the 5200 (or any device) slows down with digital detritus, such as journey history, log files, behaviour tracking, etc. - as will your Premium. A factory reset clears it all out and it performs as new.
Reconfiguring doesn't take long, and you won't lose your Places. In fact I've just done it to mine after the firmware upgrade - took around 10 minutes (and that includes pairing my phone).

Set-up the GO 6200 & Premium devices side by side
Start-up from Sleep, to being a usable device, is almost instantaneous both devices
Planned a route Lands end to John 'o' Groats... Set-up the route on both devices, tapped the Drive Icon simultaneously on both devices... Both devices reached 100% at the same time
