The Motorola XOOM packs some serious punch under the hood and there is hardly an Android application that would require more. However this does not stop the hacking community to try and squeeze every last drop of performance out of dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU.
We just got news that an XDA-developers forum member has successfully managed to increase the clock speed to 1.5 GHz with a few kernel modifications. And it’s not the see-what-I-have-here kind of deal you can follow a short tutorial and get the extra power on your very own XOOM.
Of course, you will need to unlock your bootloader and root your tablet first, but how-to guides on those two are available as well. And with benchmark results after the overclock surpassing 3100 on Quadrant and 47 MFLOPS on Linpack it might be worth the trouble.
