The fastest Android gaming tablets

Which Android tablets provide the smoothest gaming experience? CNET Labs delves deep to find out.
The development of new chips that deliver zippier performance, smoother gaming, faster Web surfing, and longer-lasting battery life will soon make their way into new Android tablets. While chips themselves and the high-end tablets that will house them, have yet to be released, we have it on good authority that they'll deliver on their promise.
Gaming is an increasingly popular way tablet owners are spending time with their devices and chip makers are paying attention. While the gaming experience on Android tablets has improved by leaps and bounds in just the last year, it's bound to only get faster, smoother, and prettier (and hopefully even more fun).
As of yet however, the new chips don't have confirmed release dates, but if you're looking for an Android tablet that can deliver impressive graphics now, we've got you covered. We gathered every high-performance tablet we could find in the CNET Labs and put them to the test. What lies below are our top seven.
We've listed each tablet with as much pertinent-to-gaming-performance information as we could think of and have listed them here in order, from weakest to strongest based on benchmark scores derived from 3DMark.

3DMark runs a canned demo of a simulated sci-fi game called Ice Storm. The 3DMark scores are determined by three tests: two focusing on GPU speed and another on CPU performance. The tests were run on each tablet a few times and the chart below represents the highest score for each tablet, with higher scores indicating faster performance.
Check here for more on the intricacies of 3DMark's scoring system.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1's overall sensible design and great performance make it one of the best Samsung tablets to date.

As one of the smaller members of the Samsung Galaxy, the Note 8 has one of the best-looking screens on a small tablets. It shares a few similarities with the Note 10.1, including the S Pen and unimpressive GPU performance matched with a well performing CPU, but the Note 10.1's smaller counterpart edges out its competition with faster gaming scores. Read the full review for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The Kobo Arc may be an unexpected contender, but its powerful GPU earns it a spot on this list. The PowerVR SGX544 delivers high framerates in games, but from a design and features standpoint, there are better 7-inch tablet choices on the market. Read the full review for the Kobo Arc.

Asus Transformer Infinity Pad TF700
The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is one of our favorite Android tablets thanks to its sharp screen, thin and light design, and impressive gaming performance. Tegra 3 is beginning to show its age when dealing with the high 1,920x1,200 resolution, but it's still fast enough place at number two on our list. Read the full review for the Asus Transformer Infinity Pad TF700.

Google Nexus 10
The Google Nexus 10 tablet takes home the gold with its superior gaming performance. It's the fastest Android tablet we've ever tested and it's the first to house Samsung's Exynos 5250; a Cortex A-15 System-on-Chip with a Mali T-604 GPU. Overall, the tablet is great for all uses, but for gaming, its the best Android tablet out there. Read the full review for the Google Nexus 10.

  1. There are millions of data sets available on the internet. However, not all of this information is available. Serious marketers recognise the importance of data collection. In order to meet KPIs and target goals, you need the appropriate data. It is for this reason that marketers go above and beyond to gather the essential data. Scrapers are used in this situation. Scrapers have shown to be a valuable ally in the data collecting process. The greatest tool can crawl through a website and retrieve information in great detail.
