ASUS' next gen Eee Pad Transformer to pack NVIDIA's quad-core Kal-El

ASUS' next gen Eee Pad Transformer to pack NVIDIA's quad-core Kal-El, launch this October? -- Engadget

Fan of ASUS' affordable, yet competitively specced Eee Pad Transformer, but still haven't committed your credit to its 10.1-inches? Well, if this bout of rumor-mongering proves true, you might want to put the wallet down until early fall. Harbinger of supply chain gossip Digitimes is reporting that the electronics maker has just enlisted Wintek to provide touch panels for its next gen tablet, slated to launch this October. The parts supplier is said to be working in tandem with HannStar Display to ramp up production should this iteration be met with its predecessor's unforeseen popularity. Adding more ambiguity to the speculative fire, ASUS' Chairman Jonney Shih recently confirmed to Forbes that an updated Transformer is on its way, saying only that it'd be very "impressive," and would be available before CES. Jonney didn't comment on the upcoming slate's supposed use of NVIDIA's quad-core Kal-El, but with the chip's promised August launch date, we wouldn't rule it out. While talks of a Transformer 2 are still just gossamer promise, you can always snag that Eee Pad Slider while you sit and wait.

would that make this the first quad-core ultra portable gadget on the market? Looks like it will debut before the PS Vita.

sweet. Guess I'll wait until this comes out instead of getting the transformer.

Quad core is great but whats the point? Apple has shown people don't care about specs. They need to show why a person needs a quad core tablet.

well lets hope the price remain the same...
