Tell HN: Sunspider Benchmarks for TouchPad, iPad 1 and 2, and Galaxy Tab
3 points by yahelc on Aug 27, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments
Just got my HP TouchPad, and thought I'd share the Sunspider JavaScript Benchmarks (0.91) for some of the major tablets built-in browsers:

    HP TouchPad (32GB), WebOS: 4106ms
    Apple iPad 1, iOS 4:  3233ms
    Samsung Galaxy Tab, Android: 2077ms
    Apple iPad 2, iOS 4: ~2000ms
WebOS's poor performance jibes with what was written here http://randomfoo.net/2011/08/21/hp-touchpad-webos (ie, that its running an older version of Webkit).

If anyone has other tablets, please chime in with how it benchmarks by running it here: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html



I'm still waiting for my TP to be shipped. Can you update to the latest 3.0.2 and overclock to 1.5Ghz or 1.7Ghz and re-run the benchmark? That seems to be the norm from what I read in forums these days. Would like to know how TP perform in that setting.


Just to confirm. Touchpad 32GB overclocked to 1.7Ghz gives us : 2826ms. So yes, it makes a big difference!


Definitely worth overclocking it; it regresses to ~4469ms post 3.0.2 upgrade without overclocking.


That's good to know, :)


Would that be the new Galaxy Tab? (10.1)


It was the one given away at Google I/O, but without any OS updates applied since then.
