That's certainly cool, but... Would the effects on day-to-day performance be just as impressive? And battery life?

Certainly yes, this is only to show that N7 is open to all tweaks and tests.
Uniquely Nexus.

He doesn't really question it. He was just asking if there was a specific reason that the devs did this and if there were any adverse effects or anything. He's not dissing it.

Thank you for explaining, my favorite Android fan. :)
"really so you reject/ don't have any morals makes since being an apple fan"
You have such an broad-ranged, fresh and interesting view on life, coupled with deep knowledge about my life, Jphones. I just say my opinion, be it about Apple or not and i insult someones phone preferances or feelings, in contrast to some people here.

Probably not practical on a day to day use basis due to battery life and performance issues but great to see. Android is about doing and seeing what's possible not just dreaming of what could be done. Its only a matter off time before a 2ghz processor gets put into an android tablet anyhow!

Hopefully the next gen processors for mobile phones will be 2GHz up with Intel-like Turbo Boost Functions~

This is really awesome.

I have to say that Quadrant scores are cool but highly suspect in my opinion. MetroPCS' new phone, LG Motion, achieves a higher Quadrant score (5215) than the One X and GSIII. The phone is nice but I think LG purposefully tweaked it so that it would beat those phones on Quadrant.
Don't get me wrong, the LG Motion is a very nice phone if you're not too concerned about screen size and pixel density.

Even though it gets an average of about 5000, would everyday use on it back those scores up?

yea! I'm already overclocked to 1.8GHz on my n7...waiting to touch 2.0GHz

OCing is great when you want to watch movies or download/upload - you can regulate the process by choosing the proper governor, as it will not always run at 2.0GHZ - especially when the screen is off, or the tablet is not performing many processes.
By using a custom kernel, XDA Developers member Clemsyn managed to push the quad-core Tegra 3 chip inside the Google Nexus 7 to the astonishing 2.0GHz, which is 700MHz beyond what the device is limited to with its stock software.
