2.0Ghz Dual Core Tablet CPU’s Launching Later This From Chinese Chip Maker

Generally when looking at or ultra-portable netbook/ we see names such as Samsung, Intel, Nvidia, Apple and Qualcomm attached to the names of desirable high end ARM based CPU’s. However a newcomer from China is planning to join the party and shake things up a bit with dual core, 40nm, Cortex-A9 based CPU’s running at up to 2.0Ghz!

Nufront, the Chinese company behind the astonishing new chips claims that their NuSmart 2816 CPU only uses 2 watts of power when clocked at 1.6Ghz! With only a minimal power consumption increase when running at a full 2.0Ghz!

These figures are enough to make the Nufront chip a real threat to larger companies such as Nvidia and Intel!

As expected NuFront are marketing there super fast, energy efficient chip at all-in-one PC makers, netbook and laptop makers and obviously tablet makers.

Nufront have actually developed their own sample using the 2816 running at a frequency range of 1.6-2.0Ghz with 1Gb of an 8-inch multi-touch capacitive screen and Android 3.0 Honeycomb which weighs in at 700g.

Early reports are that the Nufront tablet/chip combo runs much faster than a similar tablet running Nvidia Tegra 2 chips!
