The Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Android tablet is expected to sport a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom CloverTrail+ chip, industry sources familiar with the product told CNET. The plus sign means the CloverTrial chip packs a high-performance PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphic processing unit from Imagination Technologies.
Other specs include Android 4.2.2 and a 1,280 x 800 display.
Samsung is slated to reveal the Galaxy Tab at Computex, which starts June 4 in Taipei.
While Intel processors power a raft of Windows 8 tablets and convertibles, its chips rarely appear in Android tablets. One of the few exceptions has been the Asus FonePad.
