14 DAY TRIAL // We already reported on Clover trail’s capabilities and features here and the prototype tablet was also discussed here, but there wasn’t much info on the user interaction and the general responsiveness of the tablets.
We know the performance is not really on par with what top-performing ARM Android tablets have brought us until now and considering that Clover Trail is basically a dual-core Medfield, we can take this report here as a hint of what’s to come.
On the other hand, synthetic benchmarking is not everything and overall user experience is what makes ordinary people buy stuff that they don’t know much about.
Hardware enthusiasts at Fudzilla.com have managed to get a sneak peek at Acer’s W510 Windows 8 Clover Trail tablet and Intel’s PR guy was bragging that it is able to run two games at the same time.
We agree that the tablet switched between the two applications with decent responsiveness, but the true performance in each application was not shown anywhere while the games were rather simplistic.
As you can see in the video, the tablet is running a simple, arcade-like game that looks a decade old and the second game is an RPG one, so this might be somewhat disappointing for those that were expecting to see Call of Duty 4 running side by side with Serious Sam 3.
