According to a GL Benchmark test, a device with the model number GT-P5200 is going to include a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ processor working with a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. The GT-P5200 name seems to code for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, as the GT-P5100 was the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.

There were reports earlier this month of the same device running a 1.6GHz processor on the AnTuTu Benchmark site, which matches perfectly with the current information. It is rumored that Samsung is working on three variants of this device, one coming with only WiFi capabilities, one with both 3G and WiFi, and another with 4G LTE and WiFi.

We expect the device to launch with a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280 by 800 resolution. There’s no word yet on when the new Galaxy Tab will launch, and how much it will cost.

ZTE is no stranger to Intel’s up-and-coming CloverTrail+ project, including one of Intel’s chips in the ZTE Geek we reported on about a month ago. Today we bring you Intel and ZTE’s newest collaboration, dubbed the ZTE Grand X2 In. The Grand X2 In is a sleek purple device with a 4.5-inch, 720p display. It runs Android Jellybean and is powered by Intel’s 2GHz Atom Z2580 chip. Also under the hood is 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1-megapixel front-facing camera. While this phone is not going to compete with today’s flagships, it does have some features that set it apart, most notably the aforementioned camera. Capable of 24 frames-per-second, zero shutter lag and image stabilization, the camera alone puts this mid-range offering ahead of many other comparable devices. Hit the break for the full press release.  » Read the rest

Intel announced today their new Silvermont microarchitecture, a new design for 22nm Tri-Gate SoC chips. The architecture will offer three times the performance of current generation Atom processors while using five times less power. The new chips may help Intel get their chips into top-tier phones that seem to be dominated by Qualcomm chips. Besides making use of the 22nm SoC process, the chips also “revolutionary” 3-D Tri-Gate transistors. Intel says the architecture will also offer: » Read the rest

Intel to power Android Notebooks, says they’ll be priced as low as $200

We’d heard reports about Android-powered notebooks that would be shipping later this year, and Intel has taken the stage to shed some more light on those Androidbooks. According to Intel, these new notebooks will be very aggressively priced, coming in at just $200, and many of them are definitely going to be running Android instead of Windows 8. And yes, these are touchscreen PCs that Android can completely take advantage of, complete with Intel’s Atom CPUs that have performed extremely well in benchmarks.

Intel’s executive vice president, Dadi Perlmutter, said many of these notebooks will likely be “convertible” notebooks; they can essentially be a tablet or a laptop, depending on what the user needs in a particular circumstance. Perlmutter did also say there will be higher end Android notebooks running on Intel’s Core line of processors, as well as the cheaper Atom processors.

Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 barely beats out the Galaxy S 4 in benchmarks thanks to Intel CPU

The Galaxy S 4 is one of the most high end phones money can buy in terms of sheer processing power, but it’s hard for any one device to hold that title for long in the quickly evolving mobile industry. This time, it looks like Lenovo and Intel are the ones looking to outdo Samsung. Lenovo’s latest 5.5 inch phablet, the IdeaPhone K900, packs a zippy dual-core Intel Atom Clover Trail+ CPU clocked at 2 GHz. And, according some AnTuTu benchmarks, it actually edges out Samsung’s Exynos 5 (octa-core) processor. Of course, at that point, you wouldn’t really notice much difference in real world usage of either device, but it goes to show that more cores don’t necessarily mean a better processor.

The K900 features a full HD 5.5 inch screen, Intel’s Atom Clover Trail+ processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, 2500 mAh  battery, but no micro SD card slot. Are any of you surprised that Intel’s processor did so well in benchmarks?

Since ASUS is already working with Intel on the FonePad, it’s no surprise that they could be prepping an Intel-powered smartphone for June. According to DigiTimes, it will sport the Intel Atom Z2580 processor (Clover Trail+), which has a 2GHz dual-core CPU. This one will compete with the Lenovo K900 as it will sport a display around 5 to 5.5-inches.

DigiTimes also mentioned that ASUS would have an updated Nexus 7 tablet for Google I/O, which further confirms what we heard in January.

xolo_Intel-powered_Fastest_Phone_Ever

Could XOLO steal some thunder from Samsung’s Galaxy S IV event? XOLO has announced they will release the “fastest smartphone ever” on March 14th in Gau, India. Rumored to be powered by Intel’s Clover Train+ line of CPU, this phone has the potential to be fast (and expensive).

XOLO gives invitees to the Gao event a small glimpse of what the new phone will look like, and it looks sharp. The phone appears to have:

  1. Its power button on the top, next to a 3.5mm headphone jack.
  2. Blue glow next to the power button (visually appealing/possibly the LED notification light).
  3. A modified version of the Android app drawer with no sign of a notification bar.

Intel Announces Faster Processors, New LTE Chip And Mobile Partnerships

Intel announced the launch of a new line of Atom processors (Clover Trail+) and OEM partnerships at MWC. Like Motorola, Intel is apparently not playing the cores game with smartphones. They’re releasing dual-core Atom Processors for (2.0GHz Z2580, 1.6GHz Z2560, and 1.2GHz Z2520) they claim will deliver double the computing performance and up to three times the graphic capabilities of its current crop of mobile processors. Battery life was described as “competitive.” Intel said ASUS, Lenovo, and ZTE are on board with the new processors.

Intel also announced a new LTE chip, the XMM 7160, capable of supporting 15 LTE bands simultaneously. The new chip purported to be the world’s smallest and lowest-power multimode-multiband chip supports DC-HSPA+, EDGE in addition to LTE. The XMM 7160 is scheduled to begin shipping sometime during the first half of 2013.

There was some quad-core news from Intel. It said it is working on a line of quad-core tablet Atom processors, known as “Bay Trail.” Intel said some of these processors are actually already in the market (running on Windows devices). Intel believes these processors will bring all-day battery life and weeks of standby to Android. Acer, ASUS, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG Electronics and Samsung were all listed as working on tablets using the Bay Trail processors. They’re expected to come to market in time for the 2013 holiday season.

ASUS to release cheap Intel-powered 7 inch tablet

ASUS has had no problems hitting cheap price points on their tablets without sacrificing specs. They recently launched the MeMO Pad, and at $149, it’s an extremely high quality tablet. The latest reports that are coming in say that they may try to get just a little cheaper by offering a 7 inch tablet powered by Intel’s Atom Z2420 dual-core CPU. The tablet is also rumored to pack 1 GB of RAM, a 1280 x 800 screen, and a 4720 mAh battery. If they can stuff all that into a package that costs around $100, there’s no doubt they’ll move a ton of them. It would also be a great boost for Intel, who hasn’t had too much luck getting any serious market penetration yet. Hopefully we’ll see this one (or at least some more details) within the next few months.
