We’ve been telling you that Google may launch the Nexus 8 later this year. The device could easily end-up using Intel’s 64-bit quad-core chip, which was announced at this year’s Mobile World Congress.

The next Nexus tablet will be unveiled alongside Android 4.5 at some point this summer, making it ready for “back to school” shopping craze. Also at that time, Intel should have its Atom “Moorefield” processor ready and start shipping it to OEMs.
