Asus Transformer Prime, Penta-Core ICS Tablet

---

Asus Transformer 2 (Prime) was just confirmed an hour ago, didn't see any posts about it in General so decided to throw one up myself.

Comes with Nvidia's Quad-core, or Penta-core depending on how you look at it, processor, most likely Ice Cream Sandwich if not Honeycomb with an upgrade by the end of the year. It's also thinner than both the Ipad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 at only 8.3mm with a Micro-SD card slot and Mini-HDMI excluding the ports that will eventually come on the keyboard dock.

Can't post links since I don't have eight posts yet, so if you want to find more info just google Transformer Prime and I'm sure you'll get a lot more information.

kal-el chips, finally!

this thing is a bit too shiny, but i can ignore that for how epicly thin it looks, the raw power, and how great its going to be to use (taken from the transformer 1)

always wanted a transformer, maybe i can obtain one of these.

oh, here's a link. http://phandroid.com/2011/10/19/asus...-during-asiad/

Here is the highlight video of him announcing the Transfromer 2 Prime. Starts at around the 6 minute mark. I have to say that the pictures don't the actually size of the device justice. It's super super thin and looks amazing.

Hello baby, come to Papa. Been waiting for it for a while now!

Hmmm...very interesting indeed...I wonder how much will it cost..

The Tegra 3 chip uses four 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 cores, in addition to another Cortex-A9 made on a low-power process, that runs at 500MHz. When the tablet is doing mundane things like checking emails, it drops onto the low-power core to save power.

It is logically a quad-core chip, but it will switch to a single low-power core whenever possible to save power.

Put windows 8 on it and I'll buy 10
