Microsoft Reportedly Prepping a Smaller, Cheaper Surface Tablet

Second generation Surface rumors are heating up.

Multiple sources are saying that Microsoft is currently working on another Surface tablet, one that will likely be smaller in size than the current models, and less expensive as well. If the rumors are true, then it means Microsoft received the memo that $500 tablets without an Apple logo are a tough sell. which is the same memo Google's hardware partners received long ago in reference to Android.

Rumor: Xbox 720 to be Based on ‘Core’ Windows 8

Will allegedly hit the market in November

The long wait for the terribly long-in-the-tooth Xbox 360’s successor is set to end on May 21, when Microsoft says it will finally lift the curtain on its eighth-generation console at a special event. Despite Microsoft’s formal announcement of the Xbox 720 curtain-raiser event, the rumor mill hasn’t stopped buzzing. With Xbox 720 rumors thus far running the gamut from the unlikely to the unreasonable, no one can blame you for thinking that you have heard it all. But have you?

AMD's Next Never Settle Bundle Rumored to Include Battlefield 4

Look for a new batch of games in AMD's next Never Settle bundle.

As if gamers with aging GPUs need another reason to upgrade their graphics card, game bundles from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have been providing extra incentive, and more importantly (for AMD), tempting users away from Nvidia. The next "Never Settle" bundle from AMD may include Battlefield 4, which would make perfect sense after the Sunnyvale chip designer demoed the title running on a new Malta Radeon HD 7990 graphics card.

Amazon May Launch a 4.7-inch Kindle Smartphone

Another rumor points to an Amazon smartphone on the horizon.

Amazon should do the Internet a favor and either launch a smartphone of its own or come out and say, in no uncertain terms, that it has no intentions of offering a handset. It would save us the trouble of sifting through rumors, which have been permeating the web for about year now. The latest bit of news suggests Amazon is not only still interested in releasing a smartphone, but will go with a 4.7-inch display.

Xbox 720 will reportedly pack an eight-core 1.6GHz processor

The first reports about the Xbox 720 (or whatever Microsoft’s next-gen console ends up being called) began appearing as early as 2006, even prompting Microsoft EMEA (European, Middle East, and Africa) vice president Chris Lewis to plead for “a chance to catch a breath” when asked about the Xbox 360’s predecessor during an interview in October that year. Now that Microsoft has had more than enough time to do so, people are growing restless. And when that happens, the rumor mill experiences heightened activity.

Nokia's long-rumored Windows RT tablet is now rumored to be coming in early 2013

We began the year wondering if a Nokia tablet could finally be in the offing and in March heard rumors that the struggling Finnish company was prepping a 10-inch Windows tablet for launch in the final quarter of 2012. The year is almost out and, while the rumors have continued unabated right throughout, there is still no sign of such a tablet. Now, according to a new report, the mythical device could finally see the light of day at next year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Will Google Launch a $99 Nexus 7 Tablet?

An even lower cost Nexus 7 tablet could be on the horizon.

Google seems to understand that the best way of promoting Android is through low-cost hardware that doesn't suck. Such is the case with the Nexus 4 smartphone (that seems to never be in stock) and the Nexus 7 tablet, the world's first official Jelly Bean device and arguably the only true competitor to the iPad (Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet owners might scoff at that notion). The Nexus 7 is already affordable, but might we see a $99 tablet from Google?

Intel Haswell

Could this be the actual lineup for Haswell desktop parts?

Tech rumor site VR-Zone claims to have an authentic list of Intel’s first wave of “Haswell” desktop processors, and while we can’t confirm it outright, the parts listed seem highly plausible. Of the 14 CPU’s detailed, 6 fall under the category “standard power” with TDP’s of 84W, and 8 are referred to as “low power”, with TDP’s ranging between 65W - 35W.

Asustek's Windows 8 Tablets May Be Priced Out of Contention

During an investors conference last month, Asustek president Jerry Shen had said that if Microsoft launched its Surface tablet at the then much-rumored $199 price point, it would effectively jeopardize the survival of the Taiwanese PC vendor’s own Windows 8-based tablets. Now, a new report suggests Asus may have found a rather ingenious way of preventing Microsoft from doing so.
