The next release of Windows 8 October will bring with it the arrival of many tablets that will carry this operating system and that will use the latest generation Intel chip systems (system-on-chip) as their processor, the Atoms. Intel expects more than 20 Windows 8 tablets using their technology.
In fact, Herman Eul, the president of Intel Mobile Communications Group stated this at Computex in Taipei last June. Many of those tablets would be presented at the same time as the official launch of Windows 8 in October with Surface. Although there are those who came forward and at that same fair presented a prototype of a tablet that already uses the latest chip of Intel Atom Clover Trail, the T810 tablet.
Leaks collected by CNET magazine suggest that Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Lenovo they are working on it. And specifically that the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 with an 11-inch screen it will also use Intel's Clover Trail chip. This tablet will have a screen resolution of 6 x 1.376.
Other leaks also pointed to a new Dell tablet with Windows 8 operating system using this chip with some encouraging technical specifications: a 10,8-inch screen, the already said Clover Trail dual-core processor, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, 128 GB SSD and two good cameras.
Also in recent months we have heard rumors of many companies manufacturing tablets with Windows 8 even giving the name of HTC, although it was later denied.
Intel seems to gain muscle in this way after a few moments of uncertainty when it was not able to enter the market for mobile devices. Its processors will serve all tablets with Windows 8, which will have access to all old Windows applications. Meanwhile, teams with RT Windows, like one of the Surface versions, they will only have access to the new Metro apps as we already explained in another article. One of the advantages that these tablets that work with the Clover Trail chip system will have is that they are closer to energy efficiency, that is, the battery life of ARM mobile processors, although there is still a difference.
Asus Taichi's laptop-tablet will also carry Windows 8 although it uses a less energy efficient chip, the Ivy Bridge.
In this way, we will see in October a wide range of Windows 8 tablets that could give a good turn to the market and that would put Intel fully into the tablet market.
