It&#8217;s not as if you can just sit down, grab the &#8220;iBenchmark&#8221; application and run the results across every comparable i-style device you own.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some tests you can hit up-and some tests you can check out&#8211;that will give you a good, real-world demonstration of just how speedy the iPad is compared to its smaller predecessors, the iPhone and iPhone 3GS.<\/p>\n<p>The end result? According to Craig Hockenberry, a principal at the Icon factory (makers of Twitterrific), the iPad is a little more than twice as fast as the iPhone 3GS for loading applications and 1.8-times as fast for its Safari JavaScript performance.<\/p>\n<p>The real fun begins when you compare the iPad&#8217;s performance to that of the original iPhone\u2014you know, back when the idea of &#8220;3G&#8221; network connectivity was just a dream in Steve Jobs&#8217; head.<\/p>\n<p>On this, the iPad is anywhere from 12-times, to 428-times, to 8,750-times faster than the first-generation iPhone, depending on the benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll list out these results in more detail below. However, you&#8217;re probably wondering how you can go about benchmarking one of your Apple devices for your own comparative analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Provided you can figure out how to get them to work (Hockenberry doesn&#8217;t leave instructions), you can grab the benchmarks he used for the aforementioned performance comparisons and run the tests yourself.<\/p>\n<p>More novice \/ non-developer users might want to instead check out the online SunSpider JavaScript benchmark. These tests run right out of your Safari browser and should give you a good indication of your product&#8217;s JavaScript speeds compared to others.<\/p>\n<p>Since the test runs three times, you should have enough of a data set for the results to be statistically valid\u2014and if you don&#8217;t, the benchmark itself will tell you!<\/p>\n<p>You can also check out the Web-based V8 Benchmark Suite, which runs a similar series of JavaScript performance tests. However, just because a product excels on its JavaScript performance doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;ll always see a direct translation over to its Web browsing.<\/p>\n<p>For that, try grabbing a stopwatch like Anandtech&#8217;s CEO Anand Lal Shimpi, who was able to time (after at least five loads per site) that the iPad&#8217;s Web site loading times were anywhere from 3 to 9 seconds faster than those of the iPhone 3GS.<\/p>\n<p>As for other tests you can run on your iPad. Well, there are always the stress tests&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So, to recap, here&#8217;s how you can benchmark your iPad:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Run Hockenberry&#8217;s tests&#8230; somehow<\/li>\n<li>Run Sun spider&#8217;s JavaScript benchmark<\/li>\n<li>Run the V8 Benchmark Suite<\/li>\n<li>Bust out the stopwatch and load pages\/apps<\/li>\n<li>Get a bat<\/li>\n<li>Pleasantly wait for an App developer to run a custom OpenGL ES performance test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 9px;\"><strong>Resource<\/strong>:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/article2\/0,2817,2362242,00.asp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Benchmarking the iPad isn&#8217;t the easiest of tasks.
