Google I/O Sunspider demo Round 2: iPad vs Nexus One vs XOOM FIGHT!

Google showed off its speedier Froyo V8 JS engine in a demo that put the iPad up against a Froyo running N1 at Google I/O last year:



Times have changed. Apple's added the nitro JS engine to iOS 4.3 which has significantly increased performance.

We ran the swimming Android demo on an iPad running 4.3, Nexus One running Gingerbread and a Xoom running Honeycomb.

Who wins the gold? Check the video to find out!




N.B. There was a rendering artifact with the animation on the XOOM where the screen would flicker when the swimming android reached a certain area of the page.
