While the ASUS Transformer Prime is far from
being sold at retail outlets, it looks like ASUS (or somebody with
access to the tablet) has been doing some benchmark testing with the
tablet. While doing a review of the original Eee Pad Transformer using
the AnTuTu benchmark app, the writers at Tech2
noticed an interesting entry in the results comparison chart. Right at
the very top, miles ahead of the Galaxy Nexus was the ASUS Transformer
Prime. While the screenshot posted shows a quad-core 1.4GHz version of
the tablet, apparently there’s a quad-core 1.6GHz Transformer Prime
benchmarked with AnTuTu as well.
The 1.4GHz quad-core CPU that powers the Asus Transformer Prime sure sounds promising, but the real question is how much of a performance boost it brings. And, as it turns out, the answer is a lot. About two times, to be specific.
Assuming that the results weren’t faked and the device wasn’t spoofed – these very positive results show us that the hype behind the quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3/Kal-el processor used in the Transformer Prime is very real. More details about the Transformer Prime will be revealed on November 9th when ASUS officially unveils the device.
As it turns out, the Tegra 3 chipset isn’t all talk and no action – that thing is blazing fast. The Transformer Prime score appeared in the results browser of the AnTuTu benchmark and it’s more than twice higher than that of the Tegra 2-powered Motorola Xoom.
Even the Ice Cream Sandwich-running Galaxy Nexus barely achieves 60% of the Transformer Prime score. And you shouldn’t forget that the Samsung smartphone needs to handle lower resolution than the Asus tablet (even if the difference is tiny).
Who’s excited?
