Asus Eee Pad Slider benchmark tests

After being impressed unanimously by the Asus Transformer Prime, our expectations in terms of raw processing power has been raised, but considering that the Asus Eee Pad Slider is sporting the same internals as the original Transformer, we’re not expecting to see the same results.

Very much a first-generation Honeycomb tablet, the Asus Eee Pad Slider is powered by none other than a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. Relatively speaking, it’s sufficient enough to carry most basic tasks with minimal effort, but in testing out its full capacity, we do notice the usual instances of choppiness and sluggishness with its performance. With static wallpapers, the Eee Pad Slider offers a decent amount of responsiveness while navigating across its homescreen – though, there are some sprinklings of slowdown. However, it’s never to the point stagnant, but at times, such as in the case of using live wallpapers, it becomes increasingly prevalent.



Rightfully so, the benchmark scores put up the tablet are indicative of any other dual-core CPU packing tablet we’ve seen in the past running on Honeycomb. For starters, we’re able to get scores between 1,500 and 1,900 on Quadrant, which are hardly eye-catching numbers in this day and age. Nevertheless, the scores are justified marks in keeping it in good light with its rivals. Moreover, the AnTutu benchmark test graces it with an overall score of 5,099, which is yet again something that’s not particularly earth shattering. Indeed, it meets the results established by other dual-core wielding devices out there, like the LG Optimus 2x and HTC EVO 3D, but it’s nowhere close to the numbers delivered by class leading devices such as the Asus Transformer Prime, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy S II.
