Asus hasn’t officially launched the Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet yet, but it looks like someone might be testing a pre-release unit. If you run the AnTuTu benchmark utility on any current Android device today, you’re likely to find that you don’t have the fastest machine around.

HP TouchPad with Android (alpha) benchmarked
As the CyanogenMod team continues to work on porting Google Android to run on the HP TouchPad tablet, a developer has posted some benchmark results. It’s worth noting that these benchmarks aren’t always reflective of real-world performance and that they were run on a device running software that’s still not fully functional.

Intel Atom Cedar Trail chips benchmarks show modest improvements
Intel’s Atom processors have never been speed demons. They weren’t meant to be. Instead, these are low power chips designed to offer long battery life and modest performance that’s good enough for basic computing tasks. They’re also designed to be cheap, which is why they’ve been the popular choice for PC companies building low-cost netbooks. […]

AMD Ontario C-30 chip benchmarked
The folks at ePrice have posted some of the first benchmarks of AMD’s new C-30 low power chip. This is a 1.2GHz single core processor with AMD Radeon HD graphics. Honestly, I don’t expect to see many computers ship with the C-30, since AMD is really pushing the C-50 dual core version as more of […]
Asus Eee PC 1015PN 10 inch netbook with NVIDIA graphics benchmarked
The Eee PC 1015PN is one of the first 10 inch netbooks to feature next-generation NVIDIA ION graphics.
