Just imagine what the Q704 will cost. Agreed Bay Trail at that price is just excessive (I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro cost me $322 after-tax), its a great piece of kit, but at least switch Bay Trail with a Celeron/Pentium level CPU and charge that price. That blurb did make it sound like the keyboard dock and docking station are included in the package which does significantly ups the value proposition, yet still too high. For the Q704 it'll be a great machine (if it solves the horrible throttling issue the Q702 had), yet it'll likely be $2000+ maxed out. But 12.5" to me at least is a great size, but the weight for that is still too high (both the tablet and dock, 10-15% reduction increases the attractiveness a lot.
Anyways I ran a set of tests on my Venue 8 Pro, I ran them 5 times each (except Bmark) on Chrome to eliminate outliers. Here is the list:
Sunspider 1.0.2 - 537.06 ms
Sunspider 0.9.1 - 561.98 ms
Mozilla Kraken 1.1 - 5893.58 ms
Google Octane V1 - 5457.6
Browsermark 2.0 - 2732.67
WebXPRT - 492.83
Browsermark gave me some issues, and I think this number would be closer to 3000 but alas I gave up on that particular benchmark when it didn't run fully a couple times in a row.
Other than that though, and a bit lower WebXPRT score, it runs pretty well, more or less the same as the Asus T100.
Qualitatively though, I'm very happy overall with the experience with Windows 8.1 on the 8" screen, everything is responsive and works well.
Bring on Airmont -> Cherry Trail.
Could you please run GeekBench 3.
New Bay Trails: http://ark.intel.com/compare/76752,76753,76754,79050,79051,79052,79053
We now have both SDP and TDP: TDP is about twice SDP.
$132 looks very high to me.

Certainly not. But at the same time the list price of 3770 is less than $40 and I guess it's subject to heavier binning to get lower power parts. So that official price is odd.I can guarantee you that OEMs are not paying anything close to that.
wow the dell venue 8 pro impresses me so much, intel and dell are overpowering my AMD apu bias, the perf and value aspects are very high...
As much as I hate to admit it, the intel atm is the best tablet chip and the 8 pro is one of the best tablets out there imho...

I'll need a roughly 10 inch tablet to even consider running Windows 8. I'm relatively forgiving of the phone screen sizes (3.2-5) but when it comes to a tablet even Android devices with 7/8 inch screens are unsatisfactory can't imagine Windows would be any more satisfactory.
Any 10/11 inch Bay Trail tablets announced with good specs in the $300-350 range?
the only three Bay Trail 10/11 ones that are available:
Asus T100 - >$350
Dell Venue 11 Pro - >$430
HP Pavilion 11 X2 -> $599
Asus and Dell mostly have the same specs (2GB ram, Z3740 cpu, USB 3.0, microHDMI )... the Dell one has 1080p screen and back camera while T100 doesn't...
coming soon by christmas?
HP Omni 10 - ?
Your wish is my command...
Dell Venue 11 Pro seems to also have Haswell-Y options... Expect the Pentium 3560Y to have a large increase on IGP performance.
at the cost of size[thickness] and battery life...
Battery 30Whr or 37Whr, Swappable battery (based on configuration)
Presumably the haswell variants come with the 37Whr battery. That's roughly the same as the 11 inch Macbook Air (38Whr), which got really pretty good battery life in Anand's tests.
in mac osx sure, but windows aint as efficient. Then again I was comparing the perf advantage to the lower battery runtime downside.
