Motorola Xoom continues to be subjected to several tests that demonstrate the full potential of processing. One of the most powerful tablet market is often tested on their powerful 1 GHz processor, where experts overclock test their limits.
In february this year, the processor Xoom has been submitted to overclock up to 1.5 GHz, and a record was set. And today we have broken this record: Motorola Xoom work with your processor running at 1.6 GHz
The brand was established by team of overclockers forum xda-developers, who used a recompiled version of Tiamat 1.4.2 software, plus an extra power of additional 100 MHz to achieve the milestone of 1.6 GHz In practical terms, it is clear that Xoom's processor could (in theory) work with performance up to 60% higher than what is delivered to the consumer. But this is not done for security and integrity of the equipment.
Furthermore, results of this test also showed that Xoom has reached a result of 4,000 points in the application of benchmark Quadrant. To get an idea of how this value is significant, the processor Xoom, without any change, reaches a mere 1,500 points in the same test.
But all this speed comes at a price, and that price is the battery consumption. With a high clock, battery with a tablet is much shorter battery life than the original model. And even if the idea is tempting, do not recommend the use of Xoom overclocked for a long time. And if you think about doing the same experience with your model, do so at your own risk.
