Google Nexus 8 tablet to land mid-2014 with Intel 64-bit innards?
1/21/2014 1:07:00 PM

Google may be making plans to ditch Qualcomm as its chip provider in favour of Intel for the Nexus 8 tablet.

According to hit-and-miss DigiTimes "upstream supply chain" sources have made it clear the new Nexus 8 will be packing the Intel Bay Trail-T processor and should arrive by mid-2014.

Despite Google reportedly ditching Qualcomm as its chip manufacturer it'll be sticking with Asus to make the tablet. The source also claims the new Intel Bay Trail-T processor will be a 64-bit quad-core CPU.

Little else is known about the tablet but more details should emerge after MWC in February, claims the source.

If Google were to shift from using Asus also we wouldn't be surprised to see Google use LG after the impressive LG G Pad 8.3. But we'll just have to wait and see as more details emerge.
