So, just a day prior to the announcement of the new iPads, Google also announced their new devices (albeit in a bit of a more silent manner) – the Nexus 6 phone and Nexus 9 tablet. Now, the gargantuan phablet is a bit of a controversy, as not everybody is crazy about its size and weight (even if it's a beast in terms of hardware), but the Nexus 9 tablet was generally well-received and one can say that is one of the more anticipated tablets this year.
The slate got benchmarked today, and its Geekbench score can definitely turn some heads around. The Nexus 9 got 1,903 points in the Single-Core test and 3,166 in the Multi-Core. This is probably the best Geekbench score we've seen from a tablet so far, and it's more than twice the (single-core) score of previous Nexus devices. We wouldn't go as far as to say that the Nexus 9 is the most powerful tablet to come out this year – it will launch together with the iPad Air 2, give or take a few days, and we're curious to see how Apple's latest slate does, as its new A8X has also been touted to be quite the upgrade, compared to the A7.
But do keep in mind - benchmarks are just guidelines, as there are a lot of things that factor in a device's everyday performance and buttery-smooth operation. One can have the fastest hardware in the world, but still fail to optimize the device properly. Of course, the Nexus line has never failed to impress with smooth and hiccup-free performance, so we wouldn't dare expect less of the Nexus 9.
