Forget Dual-Core, Acer Sandy Bridge Android Tablets By Mid-2011If you thought the dual-core Tegra 2 Windows and Android tablets that made an appearance at CES 2011 were going to be sitting at the top in 2011, prepare to be sadly mistaken.
2-3 Acer Android tablets with Sandy Bridge coming
ComputerWorld reports that an Acer official has confirmed the Sandy Bridge processor for two to three of their upcoming Android tablets in Q1-Q2 2011.
"They are aimed at phasing out netbooks. That’s the direction of the market." - Acer Taiwan sales manager Lu Bing-hsian
The official also adds that the company will soon phase out netbooks for these speedy new tablets, we can't see why not.
On a side note, Engadget has confirmed that the Acer US team reports there will be no delays in the April Acer tablet launch. These specific Acer tablets will of course not launch with the Sandy Bridge processors which are expected to debut mid-year.
