The Google Play Store has plenty of benchmarks for testing your tablet’s processor and graphics performance. We’ve rounded up a few that, together, provide a comprehensive picture of a tablet’s capabilities.

As with all of the tablets we test, the Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 runs through the benchmarks with the same settings it had when it arrived from the manufacturer. The only exception is that we disable any screensavers and sleep settings, as those can interfere with benchmark results.

CPU Performance Testing

Android CPU Testing

We kicked things off with Linpack, which runs the tablet through linear equations. It’s a widely-used benchmark and we’ve tested many tablets with it, so we have a deep pool to compare the IdeaTab S2110 to. As it turned out, the IdeaTab performed very well in Linpack, taking the top spot from its other Android peers.

Web Browser/JavaScript Performance Testing

Android Browser Testing

The IdeaTab S2110 also fared well in SunSpider, a well-known JavaScript benchmark. Here, the tablet scored 1867, putting it near the top of our pool. The tablet clearly has some processing chops, even if it’s not at the front of the pack.

When we put the IdeaTab S2110 through the Rightware BrowserMark benchmark, the tablet stumbled a bit, landing in the lower half of our comparison scores. Even so, this is a reasonable score and many of the Android competitors are tightly grouped in this test. Now, for the graphics benchmarks.
