Motorola XOOM Gets Overclocked To 1.5GHz

The Motorola XOOM is looked upon by many as the only challenger to Apples dominance in the tablet market.

Its the first dual-core Android Honeycomb powered tablet to market that has already received the root treatment but today has been subjected to a few kernel tweeks, overclocking it to run 50% faster than its default setup.

News of the impressive feat comes via the ever-talented members of the XDA-Developers forums, where one of its members coolbho3000 posted that he had managed to overclock the XOOMs Tegra 2 processor to such an extent, it will more powerful than Nvidias recently announced Tegra 2 3D processor.

Instructions are posted on the forum detailing how to overclock the XOOM, requiring a flashed bootloader and root priviledges. As always, we dont recommend you try modifying your device as it will invalidate your warranty and could brick your device.
