Google Nexus 8 screen size

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re anticipating that the Nexus 8 will come with an eight-inch screen. What we don’t know is what its resolution will be.

We’d be surprised if Google came in with anything less than full HD.

The story was published by Digitimes, quoting a supply chain source.

According to the source, the eight inch version of the tablet will be the first from Google to come with Intel’s new Bay Trail processor. The claim is significant, not only because if it is true, the deal will be a major coup for the US chip maker, but because Intel’s Bay Trail processors are 64-bit.

That would mean the tablet would come with a minimum of 4GB of RAM –otherwise there isn’t a huge amount of point in going with a 64-bit processor.
