Intel announced three Atom x3 processors combining x86 cores with ARM Mali GPU a couple of months ago, and Intel Atom x3-C3130, the lower end processor with two x86 cores up to 1.0 GHz, an ARM Mali-400MP2 GPU and a 2G/3G modem, can already be found in Teclast X70 7″ Android tablet selling for just $70 on GeekBuying, Tinydeal, and probably others Chinese online retailers.
Teclast X70 specifications:
- SoC – Intel Atom x3-C3130 dual x86 core processor @ up to 1GHz with Mali-400MP2 GPU @ 533 MHz
- System Memory – 512MB LPDDR2
- Storage – 4GB eMMC + micro SD slot up to 32GB
- Display – 7″ touchscreen (5-point) with 1024×600 resolution
- Connectivity – WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS
- Cellular Connectivity – Built-in 3G modem (WCDMA 2100MHz l 2G: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz); two standard SIM slots
- Camera – 2MP rear camera, 0.3MP front-facing camera
- Audio – Stereo speakers, built-in microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack
- USB – 1x micro USB OTG port
- Sensors – Gravity sensor
- Misc- Volume and power buttons, vibrating motor
- Battery – 3,000 mAh Li-Ion
- Dimensions – 187 x 113 x 9 mm
- Weight – 266 grams
The tablet runs Android 4.4, and should come with a micro USB cable, a 5V/2A power adapter, and a user’s manual. Companies also promote it as a phablet, as the 2G/3G modem is not only for data, and you can make phone calls. Memory is tight, and screen resolution very low, but at least it’s very cheap.

512 mb ram ? ouch.. even android is gonna crawl on it
if they ever release one with the atom x5 mode, i migh be tempted though… quad core with possibility of 2 gb of ram and more
@sam
Yep 512MB is disappointing, but I don’t think well known brands will release 1GB versions until 1GB is considered obsolete: unless low end devices are crippled somewhat, they’ll fear cannibalising sales of more expensive (+ higher margin?) products.
With 512Mb you just can’t do anything!
But with 1Gb, this will be a great device, so I guess there will be other versions??
3000 mah battery is not enough, tablet will run 1 1/2 hour at load like playing a movie and 512mb ram/ 4gb rom is not enough too. You could have same with 35$ tablet rk3066/rk3026. The only plus is that 3g that could be a fast baterry drainer as the wifi for that kind of tablet…..
Are there any benchmarks yet of these new Atoms?
this thing has fried my 64Gb SD card. I had to open the case to get it out but the card and all my data are destroyed. After that the left side of the screen does not react to touching . So I am sending it back , do not want to risk another one,esp since technical data you provide on the site is simply false: it is not quad core 1,8Ghz processor. SoFIA Atom x3-C3130 is a dual-core 1 Ghz and the picture of this device does not true-bezels on the side are not so small as on the… Read more »
