Report: Intel Bay Trail Tablets to Arrive in Q4 2013
Tablets powered by Intel’s upcoming “Bay Trail” platform may be arriving in Q4 2013 and in time for this year’s holiday season.
According to Fudzilla’s “industry sources,” tablets featuring Intel’s upcoming quad-core Atom “Bay Trail”
SoC will arrive in Q4 2013, specifically in time for the 2013 holiday season and the important consumer holidays of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Boxing Day. Fudzilla further adds that this new date is a “slight delay” from their original projections of between August and December and that they believe that “Bay Trail” will have a “tough time to fight many ARM based tablets” in the near future.
Naturally, we’ll have to wait until the devices are formally released before we judge the hype or reach a final conclusion on Intel’s “Bay Trail” platform. It is worth bearing in mind that AMD’s “Temash”-based tablets are expected to be unveiled at Computex 2013 in June.

On a serious note, I'm curious to see how Intel will compete with ARM tablets in the future. I'm kind of expecting AMD's tablets to not do so well with battery life because AMD never was too good with power consumption. But who knows. They are GREAT with integrated graphics.
Bay Trail is going to be Temash'ed
Quad core atom using an updated architecture (x86-64 instead of x86) may make things interesting...
Intel certainly has the process advantage to make it happen and their low-power Celeron demo from a few months ago has shown that Intel can actually make x86 chips that can beat ARM on both power-efficiency and performance most of the time by surprising margins... 3-8X the performance for ~2X the peak power.
At this point, I think the only thing Intel can fail on is pricing.
For the dual core A4-1200, the reference APU apparently consumes 1.2W when idle, 1.4W during browsing, and 2.35W when playing h.264 online video at 1080p resolution.
Meaning total platform power for these types of activities is 2.8W, 3.7W and 5.3W respectively.
(Note: This was copied from a 'comments' section yesterday from an article on a new Acer Temash notebook -- that was subsequently taken down.)
I suspect it depends on the 'boost' given the GCN cores ... The article claimed more than 2X the performance of the Bobcat 'SIMD Engine Array"
Jan this slide was out...I'd have to dig a bit to find the Q4 QA crap but it was clear from their own info this won't make it into 2013 products.

But here, this shows it, productions in Q4'13 or Q1, that means NOT A PRODUCT. Get it?
To date google has had the fastest chip received->product intro (4.5mo I think), so no Q1 crap for this chip unless Intel pulls off a miracle which from Jan data, this can't be done. Even if they hit Early Nov (instead of Jan), you can't get a product made with it for another 4.5mo or more. So Q2 products if manufacturing in Nov-Jan. If it's Jan this will be LATE Q2 products.
Nuff said.
