7 inch Microsoft Xbox Surface gaming tablet coming next year?
By Florin on 06 Nov 12After releasing the 10.6 inch Surface tablet in select markets around the world, now Microsoft is reportedly getting ready to introduce a 7 inch tablet, too.
According to The Verge, this 7 inch Microsoft tablet is called Xbox Surface – and, as its name suggests, it will be a gaming tablet. It’s said that the Xbox Surface features a “custom ARM processor” of unknown frequency, and “high-bandwidth RAM designed specifically for gaming tasks.” Or it could ditch the ARM core for a new and unannounced Intel processor. In any case, it should run a custom Windows kernel. Other details – like the screen resolution, or the internal storage space – are currently missing.
The Xbox Surface tablet should be introduced by Microsoft ahead of the next-generation Xbox console, which will be out in early 2014 the latest. So we’ll most likely see it in 2013.
