How we test

We 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…
