Lenovo IdeaTab S6000 10.1″ Android Tablet Review

Vellamo Mobile Benchmark

Vellamo is designed to be an accurate, easy-to-use suite of system-level benchmarks for devices based on Android 2.3 forward. Vellamo began as a mobile web benchmarking tool that today has expanded to include two primary chapters. The HTML5 Chapter evaluates mobile web browser performance and the Metal Chapter measures the CPU subsystem performance of mobile processors. Below is a description of each of the current tests included in these chapters.

HTML5 Benchmarks

The HTML5 Chapter is a set of system-level web browsing tests. This series of tests evaluates many of the underlying systems within a device from graphics rendering and JavaScript to pixel blending and network stack performance.

Metal Benchmarks

The Metal Chapter is a set of discrete lower-level benchmarks around the CPU. This series of tests evaluates capabilities such as: CPU performance on integer and floating point operations, memory read/write and peak bandwidth performance, and memory branching speed.

Focussing less on the graphics performance and looking more at the general day-to-day performance that is on offer, the S6000 pulls itself up the charts with a set of figures for both test areas which stick it right in amongst some of the most popular smartphones on the market.

Within Vellamo, the IdeaTab is right in amongst some of the more popular smartphones on the market such as the Nexus 4 and Galaxy S III showing that this tablet is perfect for general web browsing and light day-to-day use.
