Samsung unveils 8 Inch Galaxy Tab 3 with Intel Chips
Samsung Electronics Co said it will use Intel
processors to power a new version of one of its top-tier Android tablets. Its
decision to begin using Intel in a marquee Android device is a coup for the US
chipmaker as it races to establish itself in a mobile market it was slow
initially to recognize and invest in.
Samsung has
previously used chips designed with energy-efficient technology from the UK's
ARM Holdings for its best-selling mobile devices. The South Korean firm
unveiled two new tablets, an 8-inch tablet and the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1-inch,
which uses Intel chips.The 10.1-inch tablet, which competes with Apple's iPad, will
be powered by Intel's 1.6-GHz dual core processor and run the latest version of
Google's Android operating system. Intel called the shots in the personal
computer industry for decades, but was slow to make chips that appealed to
makers of smartphones and tablets as the market boomed following the release of
Apple's iPhone in 2007 and iPad in 2010. The new 10.1-inch tablet will support
3G and 4G network connections and the screen will have 1,280x800 resolution.
Samsung said the new products will be available globally this month, but did
not provide price details.
