We have a large collection of tablets to compare with in the SunSpider benchmark, and once sorted out, the Dell Venue 8 7000 falls in the middle of the pack trending slightly towards the higher end models. Performance is pretty good here, beating out slates like the Apple iPad 4 and Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, but falls behind more recent releases like the category leading iPad Air 2 and NVIDIA Shield.

Rightware's Browsermark test is another web-based performance analyzer. It focuses on page loading and resizing, conformance testing for HTML5, network speed, and performance in the context of JavaScript, HTML5, WebGL, Canvas, CSS3/3D, and more.

Any tablet that scores in the 3,000 range is doing well, and Dell's Venue 8 7000 hovers 265 points above that mark. Its score is towards the higher end of the spectrum, though there's still a discernible between the Venue 8 7000 and tablets that consistently stand at the front of the pack.

We see the same in Geekbench -- the Venue 8 7000 manages to find itself on the high ground, though at a little more than an arm's length away from devices like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet and iPad Air 2.
