Motorola Xoom Blazes Speeds at 1.7GHz
Just when you were getting used to the idea that that the Motorola Xoom was breaking speeds of 1.504GHz, our reliable friends at XDA-developers introduced an updated Tiamat kernel capable of 1.7GHz. Could this actually be reality? Testimonies straight from XDA developers forums suggest that once you turn over the switch on your Tegra 2 it will most likely reboot regrettably.
However, if you’re part of the serendipitous ones to experience this benchmark status, you can look forward to 70 MFLOPS in Linpack, 1480ms runs in SunSpider, and Quadrant scores reaching a sleek 5,000.
XDA-delevopers disclaim while the 1.7GHz has been rigourously tested, safe does not imply stable. To read more on the 1.7GHz click here.
