As you can see the results of the Xoom running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) achieving 2083ms, is faster than the iPad2 achieving 2097ms by a very small margin. I’ve run the test several times with a score ranging from 2046ms-2100ms to be fair, as I am not sure how how they came to the numbers provider in the original blog post. It wasn’t mentioned how many times CNET[CNET article was pulled?] ran the test and if the results were averaged.
I took the original numbers from the post and added the Xoom to the chart for a comparison.
The Javascript Sunspider tests javascript performance on the device, which in todays Javascript heavy web applications would show a real world effect for end users. These devices while certainly faster than previous generations, are still slower than a laptop though. When I ran the tests on my 2010 MacBook Pro, the scores were in the 400-500ms range for the same tests. It will be interesting to see what other benchmarks will compare these 2 titans of the tablet generation in the coming weeks.
I think these 2 devices are very close in performance specs, which should make the transition between ecosystems easier on application developers. I suspect the Ipad2′s A5 shares some of the same logic of the Tegra2, since they may both be based on the Cortex A9 architecture. Though, for the Ipad2 being a “custom” designed chipset, and tightly coupled to the IOS software, I would have expected it to be beat the Xoom by a greater margin, which isn’t the case here.

[...] iOS 4.3, под началом которой работает iPad 2, принес мобильный браузер Safari с таким же, как в настольном веб-обозревателе для Mac OS X новым JavaScript-движком Nitro, якобы ускоряющим JavaScript-обработку вдвое. Действительно, в тестах SunSpider, разработанных создателями открытого браузерного WebKit-движка, второй Apple-планшет справляется с эталонным набором JavaScript-сценариев за 2097 мс, что в четыре с лишним раза быстрее, нежели это делает за 8321 мс первый iPad под эгидой iOS 4.2. Motorola Xoom, кстати, ничуть не отстал и даже незаметно лидирует со своими 2084 мс. SunSpider: скорость обработки JavaScript-сценариев зависит в большей степени от программного обеспечения; меньше — лучше. (Изображение: CNET.) [...]
