Heiner have just announced that its next generation
M9 tablet, due next month, will be powered by a new Cortex A9 based sourced from
Japan. The comes as quite a shock, as most other Chinese makers are looking in to producing Nvida Tegra 2 based tablets, it seems a bit of a gamble for Heiner to be going for chips made by the unknown Renesas Japanese chip maker.
In fact Renesas is actually a sister company to the much larger and more famous NEC brand!
While
dual core CPU’s generally mean faster speeds, the
CPU which Heiner will be building the new (white) M9 will only be clocked at a modest 533Mhz, but is said it will bring huge benefits to
battery live and the overall stability of the
tablet.
Other details for the
Heiner M9 are; Bluetooth, GPS, built in 3G, 512mb RAM, 4GB built in flash NAND storage,
7 inch capitative screen with multi touch and a quite large 3500mAh
battery.
We will bring you more on the dual core Heiner M9 as we get it.
