Speculation has emerged that Samsung is looking to switch to Intel as a processor supplier for its forthcoming flagship Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 10-inch tablets.
Currently, Samsung uses an ARM-based (Cortex A9) Texas Instruments processor to power its current generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets.
However, according to Android Authority, a new device with the serial number “GT-P5210” with “Samsung” listed as the brand has been spotted in the records of graphics chip benchmarking site GFXBench.
The Android 4.2.2 device is listed as using an Intel Atom Clover Trail processor and having an “x86” processor type.
While the discovery has prompted speculation Samsung could be looking at switching its processor architecture, the news also comes less than a week after KGI Securities analyst Mingchi Kuo predicted an Android laptop using an Intel Atom processor could hit the market within three to four months.
Earlier this month, SmartCompany reported Intel's executive vice president and chief product officer Dadi Perlmutter revealed the microprocessor giant was working with a number of hardware manufacturers on Android laptops, which would have a low-end price point of $US200.
"We have a good technology that enables a very cost-effective price point," Perlmutter said.
"[The price of Windows 8 laptops] depends on how Microsoft prices Windows 8. It may be a slightly higher price point."
The news comes at a tough time for Intel, which has seen its traditional PC chip market erode since the release of Windows 8, with worldwide PC sales taking a 13.9% hit during the first quarter of 2013 according to recent IDC figures.
The release of Windows 8 has led to a dramatic 13.9% year-on-year slump in first quarter PC sales, according to recent figures.
The tutorial will tell you how to convert any videos and movies to Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 support video formats on Windows or Mac.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 adopts the "Samsung look" – all plastic with a single physical home key encircled by a menu and back button (on-screen buttons are gone), and the rear camera is positioned centrally. But look at the spec sheet, and you won't notice an inch of a difference. The Galaxy Tab 3 has a 7-inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB or 16GB of internal storage. It's also got a 3-megapixel rear and 1.3-megapixel front cameras. Yes, that is exactly the same configuration last year's Galaxy Tab 2 had. After carefully comparing the spec sheets, we did notice a single difference - the Galaxy Tab 3 is lighter with a weight of 0.66 pounds (302 g) compared to the 0.75lb (344 g) on the second-gen tablet. It's also got narrower bezel, saving you a total of 0.44 inches (1.13cm) on the Y axis.

Sundar Pichai, the new head of Android at Google, shared his views on Google-branded hardware and competitors like Amazon's Kindle Fire, just before the company's big Google I/O developer conference which starts Wednesday.
Pichai, now Senior VP of Android, Chrome and Google Apps, took over from Android's original leader, Andy Rubin, in March.
Asked about Google's own hardware efforts, Pichai said to expect more branded devices, like the Nexus smartphones and tablets.
"You will see a continuation of what we have tried to do with Nexus and Chromebooks," Pichai said in an interview with Wired. "Any hardware projects we do will be to push the ecosystem forward."
While there has been a virtual explosion of Android devices, the ecosystem is fragmented with most smartphone owners using earlier versions of Android and companies like Facebook submerging the operating system under its own new "Home" interface.
Amazon used an early version of Android to develop its own variant of the operating system for the Kindle Fire line. Kindle Fire users go to Amazon's own store for apps (instead of Google Play).
Pichai said there are no plans to challenge either.
"Under the rules of the license, Amazon can do that," he said.
Keeping Android open
"In general, we at Google would love everyone to work on one version of Android, because I think it benefits everyone better. But this is not the kind of stuff we're trying to prevent. Our focus is not on Facebook Home or Kindle Fire."
As for Android fragmentation in general, Pichai said Google was working on ways to "handle updates better" but said more time is needed to "figure out the mechanics" of doing this in concert with all its partners.
Apple is able to more effectively keep its users on the latest version of iOS because it only has to address its own product line.
Asked later about challenges ahead Pichai said one of the big ones is to help improve the world's end-user experience without changing the open nature of Android.
"For all your users, no matter where they are, or what phone or tablet they are buying."
