Next-gen Eee Pad Transformer in the works

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is one of the top-selling Android tablets. That’s probably at least in part due to the fact that the $399 device is the cheapest 10 inch tablet available with Google Android 3.x Honeycomb.

VIA introduces QuadCore low power x86 processor

via quadcore

VIA Technologies has introduced its first quad core processor. The 1.2 GHz VIA QuadCore chip has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 27.5 watts.
