The user reviews are slowly coming out on the Intel Atom Z2760 (Clover Trail) CPU which can be found in Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, Samsung and Dell Windows 8 tablets launching this month.
Apparently battery life is quite remarkable with minimum 8 - 10 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy usage. I guess the 32 nm cpu with TDP of 1.7W will do that. One has to wonder how good this will be at 22 nm that Ivy Bridge currently uses.
Performance also appears to be very good which is not something that could be said about Atom CPUs few years ago.
The only drawback appears to be the SGX545 integrated graphics only supports DX9 on these launch tablets. Its DX10 enabled on other devices that use it, but it apparently failed the Microsoft certification for DX10 in intel's hands, which is not surprising considering how bad Intel is at making integrated graphics drivers. All in all, don't expect to play modern games on these tablets. Productivity, light gaming and web surfing is what these tablets do best.
With this said, one has to wonder what the future of Windows RT is that is currently used in Surface and other OEM tablets.
