Introduction[edit]
This page provides comparison among various TI processors running TI's Android-DevKit. Data published here is for the latest version of released Android-DevKit. Items yet to be measured are marked "TBD" and those that are not applicable to a particular platform are marked "N/A".
Platform Benchmarks[edit]
This is a collection of benchmarks comparing mainly CPU speed and other data transfer operations. In below tests, AM3715@1GHz, BeagleXM@1GHz, and AM3517@600MHz.
RowboPerf: ARM[edit]
See RowboPERF User Guide for more information about these metrics. The RowboPerf application calls native executables compiled with Android's NDK to perform these tests.

Boot Time[edit]
Numbers shown here measure the time from start of loading the kernel image to appearance of Android's Home Screen. These measurements are done using the default (pre-built) images provided with the DevKit. Please note that the very first time you boot your device, the boot time will be significantly higher (approx. 3-4 min).

File Storage Performance[edit]
These tests were performed using the StorageIO application provided in RoboPerf. The application measures the write and read speed of different storage devices using several block sizes. For these tests the file size chosen was 100 MBytes. In order for the application to run the storage device chosen for the test must be mounted in the Android file system and a have read and write access. All the tests were perform on devices with a vfat file system.
