A new rumor suggests that the renowned Google Nexus 8 would arrive in June of this 2014. Again, ASUS would be behind this tablet, repeating as a partner of the search engine company in the manufacture of a compact tablet. Another interesting fact is that a Intel processor to act as the engine of this team.
other Android Help media picked up the Android Pit tip with information about the new tablet. The new size in the Nexus range would already be quite defined and close to debuting according to this report. Those of Mountain View have been covering all the sizes that the mobile device market was approving in recent years. In smartphones the 4 and 5 inches have been tested, while in tablets the 7 and 10 inches have been touched. In recent times, we have increasingly strong rumors of devices that would have 6-inch and 8-inch screens, two of the formats with the most buzz today.
For this 8-inch team, ASUS would make use of its good relationship with Intel by bringing one of its chips into the equation, even though the Nexus have always used ARM. Specifically, a Intel Atom SoC from the Moorefield family next-generation processor with quad core 2,33 GHz and presumably 64-bit architecture, as Intel announced at MWC. its GPU would be a PowerVR G640, with high potential.
Qualcomm would thus be out of the scheme and Nvidia would not repeat. The truth is that if we look at all Google devices, it is difficult to find two that have the same chip manufacturer, so he does not marry anyone and looks for a good relationship between performance and price.
Premiere for June during Google I / O
The information also refers to the deadlines set for its presentation. Mountain View dfes would choose their big scheduled software conference for June 25 to let us see the Nexus 8 for the first time.
