    We will update more info as soon we get it.

    @Vadi
    yeah it seems low but its faster than that. Because it has more cores, its theoratically 4 x 2.33. Higher frequencies require much more power so thats why they have started lowering the frequencies but increasing the cores. Its more power efficient this way.
