Benchmark Results: Real-World
Early on, we discovered how difficult it is to benchmark tablets.
Benchmarking responsiveness with a camera is the easiest approach. Of course, normal cameras don't cut it, since they don't shoot at high-enough frame rates. Going the stopwatch route is no better, due to human-introduced errors. As a result, we're using a 1000 FPS high-speed camera to measure performance. Since one frame equals one millisecond, it’s possible to measure timing with a high degree of accuracy.
Our benchmark captures total performance. Even when dealing with the same CPU, the display panel can influence this test because we also taking response times into account.
Input lag is the time it takes from pressing a key to text appearing on the screen. This tells you how fast a tablet is registering an action. Ideally, you want low input lag so that you don't feel like the tablet is stuttering as you type or click buttons.
