Updated Tiamat Kernel For Motorola Xoom Brings Tegra 2 To A Screaming 1.6GHz

If you don’t know by now, Android has probably one of the greatest developer communities in the world. You gotta give these guys a pat on the back. They can single handedly breath new life into aging hardware making it feel better than the day you bought it. One such dev over on XDA, Tiamat, has managed to update his kernel for the Motorola Xoom. Among enabling USB tethering, he has also managed to clock the tablet’s Nvidia Tegra processor to a screaming 1.6GHz. In case you were wondering how that translates into a benchmark we have a handy screen shot of a Quadrant score for those curious.Now, you knew this was coming BUT – benchmarks are in no way a representation of “real world” speed for the end user. Heck, even overclocked CPU frequencies can be misleading (once got my G1 clocked to 1Ghz). But you must admit, seeing the quadrant bar that big is kind of… breathtaking. I think we’re going to start needing a new benchmark for dual-core processors soon. All these mega bars are making my Evo feel self-conscious.[Via AC]
