Benchmarking Ubuntu Linux On The Google Nexus 10

Here's the complete run-down on the detected system software/hardware via our automated testing software:

All of the open-source benchmarks were built from source on the device itself with the operating system's stock settings / packages. This is the first major ARM/x86 Linux comparison since the ARM Cortex-A15 vs. NVIDIA Tegra 3 vs. Intel x86 performance comparison from last November.

While the Phoronix Test Suite can measure the overall system power consumption plus generate performance-per-Watt results automatically for each benchmark result (and a variety of other system vitals; it's as easy as setting the MONITOR=all environment variable prior to running phoronix-test-suite and PERFORMANCE_PER_WATT=1) via a variety of means like ACPI, USB-based AC power monitors (WattsUp), IPMI, and other metrics, there is unfortunately no uniform way for measuring the power consumption in a fair manner across the spectrum of hardware being tested today. As such, the results being shown in this article are just the raw performance results. However, in future articles with a more slimmed and defined selection of hardware being compared (e.g. only an Ubuntu tablet comparison), performance-per-Watt data will be provided.

Now let's move on with the Ubuntu Linux performance results for these eight distinct ARMv7/x86_64 platforms.
