The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 in both the Wi-Fi and 3G models have made an appearance on GLBenchmark's servers. The benchmark reveals that the tablet will be using an Intel Atom Z2560 processor inside, instead of the usual Samsung-built processors.
If the the benchmark is true, it reveals that the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 will feature a a 10.1-inch WXVGA 1280 x 800 display, Android 4.2.2 out of the box, it will be packing a 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor with Hyper-Threading, it will use a PowerVR SGX 544 MP2 graphics processing unit with clock speeds of 400MHz.
According to SAMMOBILE the Intel Atom processor makes the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 a very fast tablet and after it recently got benchmarked on Antutu we now know why it performed so fast. The site claims:
"The device scored a whopping 24616 points, which brings this into Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and Samsung Exynos 5 Octa territory. This is the highest score we have seen on any tablet device, the Nexus 10 with Samsung's Exynos 5 Dual (5250) processor scored around 13K points on Antutu."
As SAMMOBILE also points out, while the tablet will be very fast, it's a bit perplexing that Samsung is shipping such a powerful tablet with a low-resolution WXVGA 1280 X 800 display. It could be possible that this is an early prototype and the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 will ship with a higher-resolution screen.
As will all leaks, take this one with a big grain of salt. If true, Intel is finally making its way into Android tablets and smartphones, something the company had missed the boat on in the mobile world.
