well we know for sure wifi version has tegra3. the 4g version is up in the air right now as to which chipset its using. The version with 25% increased GPU performance is a new/updated tegra3 version. regardless if its this beefier version or not, tegra3 will handle the display fine. The original Infinity pad spec had it using a more powerful tegra3 version anyways. The 25% increased GPU performance comes from the newer tegra3 versions. ill look for that article again on it and post it up. it was the new updated Nvidia official spec sheet on newer tegra3 versions.

Now that we are basically into June, the wait shouldn't be long at all. I wouldn't be shocked if we see the Asus/Google Nexus tablet pass through FCC soon also.

edit: here is the link of the new AP37 tegra3 variant. which could be used in Infinity pad. its meant to drive 1080P display. its clocked at 1.7GHZ and has 25% increase in gpu performance. looks good

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Nvidia-Prepares-Faster-Tegra-3-Version-266743.shtml

nothing is certain though which tegra3 it will use though. It'll be good regardless.
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
Thx for that! Asus sweden have said they will come with an official press release regarding availability of the infinity in scandinavia on monday. I doubt we will get any informasjon then, but who knows, would rock.

I'm probably gonna go for the Wifi version, when the cellular version comes if it has increased GPU I might consider a switch..

Nothing like some new gossip :)

EDIT: seems like we're not the only ones waiting for this tablet :) Asus likes teasing us, curse them!

I`m wondering how Wifi GO! will work on the Infinity.

Anyone tried it on the Prime?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
Uggh, this is wrong is so many lvls.

http://androidandme.com/2012/04/new...80p-displays-25-faster-gpu-and-lte-to-phones/

'Thanks to a document leaked by VR-Zone, we are now learning additional details about Tegra 3+, which has the model number AP37. The new chip should boast CPU speeds up to 1.7 GHz, feature 25% faster graphics, and have support for 1920×1200 display. Keep in mind this is a smartphone chip, so it makes those rumors of 1080p smartphone displays in 2012 sound more believable."

AP variants are smart phone SoC. AP37.. as many are pointing out.. is the Tegra 3+. From the recent GPU Tech Conference, Nvidia made an announcement that possibly 30 PHONES will be released using Tegra 3 (might I add, without the ICERA modem)... & will use modems from GCT Semiconductor, Renesas Mobile, and ST-Ericsson. Those using ICERA modem aren't projected to be released til 2013.

Just because AT&T approved ICERA modem recently, that doesn't mean it can actually be used right away. Also, 1 carrier approved it.....

Asus & Johny Shih did a whole presentation of Infinity Pad 700 using S4 (yes, not a single mention of Tegra 3) at MWC.

Also.. and I quote:

"Rumor has it that maybe only one of the cores inside the AP37 chip will be able to clock to the high 1.7 Ghz, but that would be a nice 14% speed improvement, if true"

Only one core might reach 1.7ghz. They are also increasing the speed of GPU from 1x to 1.25x. They are shooting for 25% increase in performance... but 14% speed improvement in one core, and speed increase in GPU does not exactly equate to 25% increase in performance (especially when you take into account that resolution went up from 720 to 1080 resolution).

Edit: http://www.anandtech.com/print/5586

Infinity Pad 700 will be using T33 Tegra 3. With 4 cores being clocked upto 1.6ghz. Yes, the T version for tablets and AP are for smart phones. In an 10 in. tablet with one core reaching 1.7ghz to push 1080 resolution is a step down ... even compared against S4 dual-core.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
Uggh, I tried to ignore as much as I can. But you are spewing personal opinions as that's how the final outcome will be (or is a fact).

Yes, the current specification for Infinity Pad 700 is from MWC. However, if Tegra 3 version is using T33 (yes, tablet SoC)... why would Asus be stupid enough to create AP37 (Tegra 3+ for smart phone) tablet with Icera modem? They can achieve exactly the same thing with T33 Tegra 3, and pair that up with Icera modem.

The 25% increase performance is a projection for smart phone, not TABLET. KEY BEING SMART PHONE. We had this discussion in your own Nvidia, Tegra 3 lovefest thread. Tegra 3+ is for smart phone.

Also, one core reaching 1.7ghz to 4 cores reaching 1.6ghz. T variants of Tegra 3 were always able to output 1070 while AP37 just reached that state (while increasing GPU and CPU speed to obtain it).

Also, Tegra 3 & Tegra 3+ phones are projected to be released at the end of the year (and these phones aren't even projected to use Icera modem.. again..). Q2 isn't end of the year. FCC just passed Infinity Pad 700 & I would like to believe Asus/Nvidia has ramped up T33 production to meet the launch in Q2. Asus made a big splash of 3G/4G Infinity Pad 700 using S4. At that time, we already knew the problems with manufacturing demands as well... that means Asus fully damned well knew it also. Why would Asus be stupid enough to create a buzz & again.. go back against its word without mentioning a damn thing when the launch is near??

And here, official spec from Asus.

http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-infinity/features/

"Platform	Qualcomm® MSM 8260A/8960 Snapdragon™ S4 Krait Dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU(3G / LTE) /

NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 T33 Quad-core 1.6GHz (WiFi) CPU"

Let me know when Asus changes their own specification & website. As far as I'm concerned, this is OFFICIAL.

And about the whole Icera modem being certified by AT&T.

http://androidcommunity.com/nvidia-icera-modem-certified-for-att-quad-core-lte-incoming-20120524/

quote:

"Currently there’s no indication of when the first “tablet or clamshell” with the Icera 410 will hit AT&T, but the timing will depend upon which manufacturers are already using NVIDIA’s samples."

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5859/nvidia-icera-410-lte-modem-passes-att-network-validation

quote:

" Nvidia's Icera 410 LTE and HSPA+ baseband has passed AT&T's network validation testing (NVT) which means the baseband is now approved to ship in subsidized tablets and clamshells, but not phones yet."

Also, certified by one carrier. Not exactly in other parts of the world yet.... such as carriers in Europe.

Oh, and go straight to your source of Gary Key or do you have a "source" at Nvidia as well?? Btw, early builds of Prime using AP30 instead of T30 is also false advertisement. The class action lawsuit lawyers are probably thanking you. AP30 and AP33 doesn't even fit the description of 1.3 (4 cores)/1.4(single core) advertisement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
that's the Shinnz i know. He's cool with me.

We will just agree to disagree..lmfao. your last statement isn't false advertising though. Ill leave it at that. I'm about to eat these BBQ ribs n watch this NBA Game 7.

You are my favorite nemesis though ;) Always glad to battle it out with you. At least we can stay civil with it. A certain poster in another thread I recently ignored should take tips from you..lol

thanks for your viewpoint/opinion of it! I welcome it ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinzz:
Actually, I wish to know how it isn't. AP30 and AP33 doesn't match T30....

Asus advertised it as T30 & clearly stated 1.3ghz in quad-core & 1.4ghz in single-core mode.

Edit: Also, just like GPS.. even the box states T30. If they released & sold Transformer Prime with AP30 (& if the box even indicates it as T30)... isn't that clear false advertisement? AP30 and T30 doesn't have same clock speed.. thus difference in performance as well.

This isn't like GPS where GPS just didn't function due to poor design. Device is sold with a different component compared to the advertised one.

Another Edit:

"With infinity Pad having 1080P screen, people are going to want to want the superior multimedia capabilities."

You are going off of very few individuals (yes, I checked the HTC ONE X forums just to make sure) who can't play 1080p youtube videos from desktop mode. But you also ignore those post that state they do not have any issue. Also, the thread that brings up this issue isn't rampant or hardly mentioned in such XDA thread leads me to believe that S4 is clearly capable (including all benchmark performance) to be just as good MULTIMEDIA SoC/Device like Tegra 3.

You form an opinion after very small contingent that favors your view & are stating/reporting as a fact. Don't believe me? Here..

This video is so damn erotic!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
I'm quite worried about the fact that we've mostly heard about release dates for the 64GB version.

I for one do not need that much HDD. I do not think its worth the money, and I would rather get the dock for that price increase.

So yeah.. has anyone even heard a word about a 32GB + dock version releasing anytime soon? I reckon the demand for that is much higher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rwniel:
It will likely depend on the specific country and which models they choose to focus on - each Asus office seems fairly autonomous in that regard. So for example, here in the UK we only got the 32GB of the Prime and Pad 300 bundled with the keyboard dock (- i.e. there was no tablet only option offered and no 64GB/16GB models respectively). So I think you're going to have to wait and see what's officially announced, depending on where you live.

[Asus Transformer TF700] JTHM:
Checking back through Asus UK's recent Twitter and Facebook posts (and reading between the lines) it seems they do have a release date in mind and they are working with either an exclusive partner or a very limited number of retailers. However they are continuing to play their cards close to their chests in order to have a minimal amount of time before making the announcement and the Infinity actually hitting the shelves. All they are saying is that we "shouldn't have too long to wait".

Like it was said before, ASUS Anders answered about the press release today, saying that it has been postponed by HQ to later in the week (aka Computex)
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
The asus rep on the swedish facebook page just had this to say:

"ASUS Sverige Hej igen, De angav precis ett datum och flytta samtidigt fram det till 11e Juni. Den som väntar på nått gott ;) MVH, ASUS Anders"

translates into "

"ASUS Sweden Hi again, they just set a date and at the same time moved it forward to 11th of June. He who waits for something good ;) Kind regards, ASUS Anders"

He doesn't however say what they changed the date of. I'm guessing he is talking about the release of the tablet and not the press release.... hmmm... speculating, speculating, speculating....

bad news if it s going to be July now. After all more time we wait and less the HW spec is impressive as vendors release new technologies as we speak so we may be close to another vendor presenting their next tablet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
after this talk of june releases, if it pushes back to july i should think theyll lose some serious sales. mine for a start, after putting off a tablet for months waiting for this. the iconia a700 cant be far off now, and presumably other HD tablets are on the horizon...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Joakim Larsen:
Damn asus and their delivery guarantees.

My source has just now received a letter stating that the supplier is unfortunately only able to deliver ASUS

Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T during the first week of July, on account of changed market strategy in Europe.

But it will in turn be the entire product line that will be available minus the 3g version. Other words it is 32gb with / without dock, 64GB with / without the dock, and the padfone.

Edit: Ok, if it can not be different then never mind.

I just pre-ordered 64GB wifi edition without the dock, then we must see when it comes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Beknatok:
The Acer A700 is looking more and more tempting... presuming THEY actually deliver sooner than Asus. *sigh*
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
As it gets postponed to an even later date, I'm actually thinking of a Windows 8 tablet with HD display, there are more and more keyboard solutions coming..

Edit: PS Of course only if it weighs around 600g not twice that weight..
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
does any of the competitors have a battery in the keyboard that charges the tablet? if so please link...
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Good point, but too early to tell. Anyway, yeah, we still have to wait for Win8 tablets, so probably waiting for the battery-in-dock one with Android is worth it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
no...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronaldheld:
With these delays, is it worth it to get a Win 7 tablet or a dual boot with Android, and upgrade the OSs when available?

Actually yes.... despite what Demandarin wants you to believe =P

Here..

http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33378_1-57355354/lenovos-android-4.0-tablet-wants-to-be-your-laptop-too/

This tablet was announced at CES.

quote:

"No word yet on exact availability, but Lenovo sounded optimistic that the tablet would arrive in the second quarter of 2012 with a base price of $399."

However, it is already 2nd qtr & not much is known yet with the released date since CES/MWC... Nothing went through FCC... Also, I have no idea if this tablet will be released outside of China... granted, 1st gen. of Lenovo IdeaTab did get released...
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
so all that still equals to NO..lmfao :P. No current competitor has a similar solution. good try but no cigar ;)

- Maybe no extra battery

- no release date yet (as always...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] XabiX666:
I think it should be forbidden to speak about any product without giving a GA date. Otherwise it doesn't mean anything.

A tablet shown in Mobile World Congress in Feb could be awesome but after four months good and after 8 months average.

So a product without an availability date doesn't mean much.

next table would 16 cores a 3Ghz but who knows when :)

unfortunately it only has a 1280x800 screen and no tegra 3.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
Given the track record of Asus on the 101 and 201 WRT annoucements vs. real-life availability, I'll believe that the 700 is for sale when I see it listed as in stock on Amazon. Until then, it's just imaginary. ;)
