The Intel Bay Trail-T family is made up of energy-efficient chips for tablets that promise a prolonged battery life, good enough performance and support both Android and Windows operating system.

Currently there’s a plethora of Windows 8 tablets with screen sizes between 7- and 10-inches that run on Bay Trail-T chips and some Android models will arrive in the wild soon. We already knew more Bay Trail chips were in-coming in 2014, but we just didn’t know when.

Now CPU World brings world, the second wave of Bay Trail-T chips is in the pipe-line, with up to 9 models being prepped. And some of them will offer up to 16% faster graphics.

The most powerful of the line-up is the Intel Atom Z3795, a 1.6GHz quad-core chip with maximum clock speeds of 2.39GHz and GPU speeds between 311MHz and 778MHz fitted with up to 4GB of RAM.

The most low-end of the bunch, is the Atom Z3735E, a chip with a maximum clock speed set at 1.83GHz while the GPU speeds are situated between 313 MHz to 688 MHz and supports up to 1GB of RAM.

All the expected 9 chips are quad-core processors coming with Intel HD graphics (based on the same tech used to build Intel’s Core Ivy Bridge processors). The report expects the new chips to ship out in Q1 or Q2 of 2014.
