The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 10.1 models were introduced in the beginning of this month.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 features the rumored Intel CPU, which is a dual-core chip running at 16.GHz. The tablet also comes with 1GB RAM and the choice of 16 or 32GB of internal memory.

Other specifications include a 10.1-inch WXGA TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, a 3-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3-megapixel front shooter.
