There is a Snapdragon SoC 800 in the new Kindle Fire HD 7 and 8.9. Tests confirm! - Italian Notebook

Into the past few weeks, we spoke very often of the new Kindle Fire tablet and Kindle Fire HD , assuming the technical specifications thanks to some rumors circulating on the Net The main doubts rotate on the choice of processor, including an 8-core SoC MediaTek and a Snapdragon chip 800, but apparently it seems that Amazon has decided to integrate Qualcomm processor which should donate to the tablet more processing speed and reliability, especially because it combined with display high resolution.

Into Giving us a first confirmation is, as usual, the online test GFX Benchmark (1 and 2) that lists two Amazon tablet to date unknown, “Apollo” Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and “Thor” Kindle Fire HD 7 . Both are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800 from 2.15GHz (graphics Adreno 330) and the operating system Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, which will probably be customized by Amazon as in the first generation. Kindle Fire HD 7 should integrate a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels , while Kindle Fire HD 8.9 will have a Fullscreen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels .

Into The rest of the specifications is not mentioned, but according to rumors, there will be 2GB of RAM, 16-64GB of storage, 8 megapixel rear camera, WiFi 802.11n and optional LTE. It will be interesting to see what price range will place these Amazon tablet, despite the intention of the U.S. is to maintain unchanged the current prices of sale: 199 € for the Kindle Fire HD 7 and 269 € for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Considering the hardware upgrade, we expect a small increase in the final cost (a little ‘what happened to the Nexus 7, 2013), but also 229 € for the 16GB version of the Kindle Fire HD would be cheaper than the new tablet from Google.

Into Right now we do not know when it will launch the new Kindle Fire, but if Amazon will keep the same calendar last year, the debut could take place in the short between the beginning and the middle of September after IFA 2013.
