Intel unveiled a new series of Intel Atom processors. There is a reference model with an 8" (1920x1200) screen with 4gb ram.

Hmmm. I'll wait to see it once its out.
Intel's Atom chips have experienced the same problems as nVidia's Tegra chips:
- there's decent performance
- but too much draw, limiting it to tablet devices
- too expensive
- limited availability, mostly due to Intel/nVidia giving the chips away to vendors for free


We'll see how it compares to devices like the nVidia Shield Tablet, Nexus 9, and iPad Air 2.
Just give it 8in, Windows10, 4GB RAM, heaps of battery. I'm curious to see how this will perform with a QHD/1440p resolution and how much it will tax the battery life, because currently Windows sucks at it when looking at those Core M/Core i5 products.

winrt? I thought the product was scrapped since rt sucks even more than regular windoze... (yeah, can you imagine it is even possible :D)
