Samsung is Putting their Faith on Intel, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Will Run on Intel Inside
Samsung joins the line of tech manufacturers betting on Intel to deliver high quality computing devices. Recently, the Korean tech giant announced that it will be using Intel's processors to power up their latest Galaxy Tab 3. Samsung has not been as dominating in the tablet market as it is in the smartphone segment. With Intel's chipset powering their tablet, the Korean tech manufacturer hopes this will be the game changer.
Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are selling like hotcakes. However, their tablet line cannot seem to replicate the same amount of success. The first and second generations, despite the variety of choices in screen size and similar specs, cannot match the success or appeal of the company's smartphones. Competitors like Google's Nexus 7 and Apple's iPad are more prominent in this sector.
The newest tablet to be released, the Galaxy Tab 3, aims to change that. Likewise, Samsung is also careful about having their products, especially the Galaxy Tab 3, banned in different countries. Take note that the Korean tech manufacturer has faced a major setback when a number of its products were banned in different countries due to patent complications.
One positive side about the release of the Galaxy Tab 3 is that Apple has to start from scratch if it wants to ban the new tablet. The ban on Samsung's products applies to the first tablets but it does not extend automatically to the third generation Samsung tablet. This should give Samsung some room to breathe and an opportunity to carve a more lucrative and successful niche for their tablet line.
With the inclusion of Intel in the lineup, this means Samsung wants to have the same high level computing performance on their new tablet. Intel has been bumping the performance of its processors thus raising hopes among consumers that the third Galaxy Tab will provide computing firepower unlike any other.
Samsung has also been working persistently on selling the remaining inventory of the Galaxy Tab 2. This means the release of the third Galaxy Tab is really just around the corner. With the Intel sticker part of the package already, the appeal of the tablet should increase as the chipmaker has also established itself within the computing market.
