It is no longer the most powerful tablet. A5 chip in the iPad 2 offers similar CPU performance and much better graphics performance than Tegra 2 according to Anandtech's tests.

- cryptoz 16y agoThere's a lot more to "power" than just clock speed and graphics. For example, nobody has to ask permission to write and run apps on the Xoom whereas iPad can only (under normal circumstances) run apps that have the approval of a small team of people in California. Being able to run whatever computer programs you want - on your computer - definitely factors into what it means to be powerful. Also, it has more sensors and a newer operating system and UI. There are many ways Android 3.0 is more powerful that iOS, such as having real multitasking, more user-configurable settings, etc.
