Microsoft Again Said To Be Launching An Intel Based Surface Tablet This Month

heard a couple of days back, there is every chance that the technology giant is ready to bring around more hardware goodness for those attending the press event in New York on May 20. In fact, another report corroborates this. This recently published news story over at CNET cites people familiar with the matter, and reveals that Microsoft is on track to showcase a new Surface tablet powered by a Haswell chip. Obviously, alongside the Qualcomm based Surface Mini. Intel is said to have collaborated with Microsoft in development of this new model, but although details about the project are still under wrap, it is said that this new Surface tablet would come in the original size, unlike the small form factor that the Mini caters to. Since it is based upon the Haswell line of processors, one thing we can be sure of is that this new Surface unit would be specifically optimized for better power consumption. Ultimately, though, it seems that NVIDIA is the biggest loser in this game, as Microsoft looks set to continue its partnership with both Intel and Qualcomm. May 20 cannot get here soon enough.]]>
