W e ran each tablet through a fearsome set of benchmarks, starting with Geekbench 6 to test CPU performance. The single-core tests put each device’s most powerful core to the test, while the multicore tests check performance across all cores. We also run Geekbench’s Compute benchmark to get a measure of the onboard GPU in computational tasks.
Synthetic benchmarks don’t cover everything, though, which is why we also run a selection of browser-based benchmarks. BaseMark Web 3 and WebXPRT 4 run through a range of productivity, maths and graphics tasks, stretching the CPU and GPU. Meanwhile, JetStream 2 and Kraken give a good indication of how tablets will cope with complex JavaScript and WebAssembly code.
We also use 3DMark and GFXBench to put the GPU through its paces and establish an idea of baseline games performance. We’ve also experimented with the new Geekbench AI benchmark, testing the AI-processing capabilities of both the CPU and any NPU.
