Welcome to the next generation of Android tablets – where the year 2011 has been dominated utterly by the dual-core processor by the name of Tegra 2, so too does NVIDIA hold the next keys to the kingdom with the quad-core processor Tegra 3, and this is the city which you’ll love to explore: the ASUS Transformer Prime.

ASUS Transformer Prime vs iPad 2, benchmark tests

, Dec 1st 2011 Discuss [111]

There’s so very much to say about a couple of devices when you’re comparing them, especially two titans like the iPad 2 and the Asus Transformer Prime, but what we’re going to do here is get down to some basics – namely some benchmark tests that work just as well on both iOS and Android – so that we can have a clear view of how the two work in relation to one another. We’ve got a few tests lined up here, first of all SunSpider, an internet browser-based JavaScript benchmark which tests how well your internet is going to work based on the machine more than your connection. Next there’s Rightware’s BrowserMark, another test that sits in the internet browser.
