ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 Z580CA Intel-Powered Premium Android Tablet Review
Performance: CPU & Device
AnTuTu’s latest benchmark returns a number of scores—too many to graph so we’re including a look at all the numbers in a table. This test measures subsystem performance in various areas like Database IO, Storage IO, CPU (Int. and Float), GPU (3D), and RAM (speed).

The ZenPad S 8.0 leapfrogged every other mobile device we've tested to take the top spot in AnTuTu. We have to think that the 4GB of RAM in this slate is paying big dividends here, and of course it has a quad-core Intel Atom processor to boot. Intel's Atom does tend to show stronger in this test.

The MobileXPRT benchmark runs through a variety of tests to evaluate the responsiveness of a device along with its ability to handle many everyday workloads. Here the ZenPad S 8.0 slipped a few spots, though still was only one of half a dozen mobile devices to post an overall score of more than 300.
In Geekbench, the ZenPad S 8.0 was rendered an "average" performer by settling into the middle of the pack. This is a bit more consistent with some of the earlier benchmarks we ran but still a very respectable showing.
