This explains nicely why none of the serious tablet producers have selected Intel chips for their volume products (I don’t count >900USD tablets, these are obviously for company use, typically with Windows).

A tablet under 6 hours of battery runtime is dead in the water since all serious Android tablets are better than this by a large margin (like 8-9) and the tablet-leader iPad has 10 hours.

Without the obvious lack of TDP numbers we can assume that even Oak Trail tablets will struggle to get into the 6-hour range even with large batteries (which is not tablet friendly) so I wouldn’t expect too much from this platform.

Also, the 45nm process is quite behind. Modern ARM SOCs are produced at 40-45 nm NOW and they are moving to 28nm by the end of the year (OMAP5, Tegra3). Oak Trail could be significantly more competitive if produced on a 22-28nm process. Without this, I just wouldn’t select it if I was a tablet manufacturer. It is simply still not good enough. Not by a big margin.
