Fujitsu T900 gets 2.66GHz mobile Core i7
Fujitsu has inadvertently spoiled plans for itself and Intel through an FCC filing (PDF). Cosmetically similar to the LifeBook T5010 convertible tablet, the T900 will be a major performance upgrade with a 2.66GHz mobile Core i7 that will effectively behave like a quad-core processor. Its graphics are likely to remain integrated, but as the i7 will have a new generation of on-processor graphics, visual performance should be faster as well.
Little else is given away by the slip, but the tablet should have the same 13.3-inch touchscreen and 802.11a/g Wi-Fi. No mention is made of the 3G available as an option for the T5010 today.
A release date isn't available for the Lifebook tablet, but Intel isn't thought to be shipping its notebook Core i7 until late winter or early spring. [via Wireless Goodness]
