The ASUS Transformer Prime might be the next big thing, since it’s got the quad core CPU and all, but does it have it takes to surpass the iPad 2 performance? The guys of Android Community compared the two slates through a couple of benchmarks and the good old iPad 2 announced this Spring still manages to kick behinds and take names…
One of the benchmarks was SunSpider, a test based on JavaScript benchmarking and the Internet browsing. It determines how well your Internet works on your machine. For comparison sake, Android Community also included in the mix the first Eee Pad Transformer. The iPad 2 did pretty well, but the four core Transformer Prime came on top, with iPad 2 second and the older Transformer third.
Next up, the Browsermark benchmark showed a tight battle between the iPad 2 and Transformer Prime, actually more tight than you’d expect between a quad core and dual core machine. Of course, the latest ASUS tablet will evolve even further when the Android 4.0 update will be available on it. And finally, the turn of GLBenchmark 2.1 came, testing the actual GPU processing cores in the devices. This is where the iPad 2 killed the competition, proving that the Tegra 3 is still no match to Apple technology… what will they come up with next?
