Intel is offering more specifics on the features of future Windows 8 tablet at a conference in Beijing. Featuring its Atom Z2760 "Clover Trail" chip, these tablets should boast over 9 hours of battery life, getting really close to what Apple's iPad has to offer at the moment. "Clover Trail" chip is dual-core capable with "burst mode" (for quick bursts of performance when needed) and Hyperthreading -- the latter allows a dual-core chip to behave in quad-core-like fashion in some cases.
Specifications
Two basic tablet designs: The tablets themselves, as proposed by Intel, fall into two basic sizes: pure 10-inch tablets and hybrid 11-inch designs with physical keyboards.
Battery life: More than nine hours. That's just on paper of course. So, final products will tell the real story.
3G/4G: That's a must for tablets, of course. And Intel bought the wireless business of a little chip company called Infineon. So it can supply its own silicon here if necessary.
Weight/thickness: Under 1.5 pounds. No surprise here. The gen 3 iPad is 1.44 pounds, by the way. Thickness, as proposed, is under 9mm. Again, as a yardstick, the gen 3 iPad is 9.4mm.
Miscellaneous: NFC (near field communication) and Wi-Fi Direct.
All of the above is predicated on Windows 8 being commercially released in the second half of the year. That seems to be the plan.
