The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 inch was just announced yesterday along with the Galaxy Tab 3 8 inch version. One of the main takeaways from the announcement is the presence of an Intel chip inside the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 inch version. Intel was particularly proud of the fact and boasted about its first low power LTE implementation for the same, in its blog. Sporting a Intel Z2560 “CloverTrail+” chip, the device has connectivity powered by the Intel XMM7160 multi mode LTE modem in some markets.
Stepping up their efforts in the mobile space(finally), Intel has launched several SoCs specifically for the mobile market with faster processors, better battery life and overall suited for on-the-go computing. The dual core Atom processors in the CloverTrail+ platform are clocked at 1.6 GHz with HyperThreading enabled to make them look like quad core processors, at least logically. Chugging along for the graphics processing is the PowerVR SGX 544MP2 from Imagination technologies.
Interesting to see Intel use PowerVR chips instead of their own solutions, which eventually will end up in future Bay Trail Atom chipsets set to start shipping in Q3 2013. Anyway, for more information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 inch go here.
