Motorola Xoom hits 1.7GHz, teeters at the fringe of oblivion

Just once we thought the Motorola Xoom had hit its stride at a blazing 1.504 billion operations per second , the trusty Tiamat kernel has strapped on an veritable afterburner in a position to 1.7GHz. What happens when your shaking hands flip that switch and provides that Tegra 2 the entire jet fuel it should take? Well, anecdotal cases from the XDA-developers forums suggest it’ll probably just reboot anticlimactically. If you are lucky enough to have the magic silicon, however, you will be treated to a benchmark-blitzing rig, reportedly able to 70 MFLOPS in Linpack, 1480ms runs in SunSpider, and Quadrant scores approaching a smooth 5,000. See just how far that rainbow benchmark bar can stretch in a screencap after the break.
