Intel Wins Samsung's Galaxy Tab [View article]
Why would Intel allocate wafers to lower margin business when it could allocate those same wafers to its own Intel Architecture chips for higher margin?

TDP is one thing, but idle power characteristics are really key for battery life. Temash isn't anywhere close to where ARM, Intel, Qualcomm, etc. are in this regard.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but my first negative article on ARM was actually published when the pps was ~$37.28, I believe.

Google is creating an ecosystem and it will indirectly monetize Android via this sphere of influence.

>>z60 hondo is 456% compared to N2600 Atom on 3dMark06
N2600 uses PowerVR SGX 545...this is a very, very old and slow chip. The SGX 544MP2 in "Clover Trail+" is 3x the speed of this chip, and I expect the 4EU Gen7 GPU in "Bay Trail" to be even more competitive, albeit it will still likely trail the 128 GCN Temash.
>>This video states hondo dominates clover trail
In GPU this is true, but in CPU and battery life, not so much: http://bit.ly/18RqUP1
"The battery life unfortunately isn't able to contend with the Dell Latitude 10 (15:52 h) and Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 (7:39 h) Atom based rivals, while the Intel competitor (Atom Z2760: +42%; R11.5 Multi) outperforms in terms of the processing power. The system is not slow by any means though, thanks to the fast Hynix HFS128G3 SSD (128 GB), which is able to read and write at fast speeds so that users will not notice any difference compared to Windows 8 tablets running on the Atom platform."
". We measured a maximum of 19 Watts with peak utilization and the highest brightness while the battery was fully charged.
The Atom based competitors only required between 9 and 11 Watts (ThinkPad Tablet 2 / Latitude 10) during the same test, while this value was at 5 and 10 Watts (Q572: 16 Watts) during a 3DMark benchmark. Our AMD tablet therefore has an up to twice as high power consumption depending on the scenario! Since this also continues in an idle state, things do not look very promising for the battery life of the Stylistic."
AMD's Z60 is unsuitable for a "tablet" as we know it, and it looks as though quad core "Temash" is equally unsuitable. Dual core Temash @ 1GHz should be okay, but idle power characteristics probably aren't great, which means general purpose battery life will be equally not great.
You need to dig more into the facts and not take AMD's claims blindly. I have been watching the "Temash" story with skepticism that seems to now be confirmed. It's a good low cost PC laptop chip, but it is a lousy tablet chip due to lack of sophisticated power management and performance levels that are too high for the 28nm process at tablet-like battery life.

This is not an iPad-oriented chip...it's an Ultrabook-type chip ;)
