Some leaked photos of Android 4.3 surfaced online with images of a Nexus 4 device running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean suggesting that the next Android Operating System might just be around the corner! These images of Nexus 4 show the Android 4.3 build number as JWR45B, with letter J confirming the earlier speculations that the next Android OS version is going to be Jelly Bean. One snapshot of the screen specifically shows the Easter Egg and the confirmation that it is running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

These images have been taken at the Thailand Mobile Expo but there are no more details about the features of Android 4.3 from the site. In one of the images though, you can see a different camera menu with buttons appearing around the shutter.

No official statements, announcements have been made from Google as yet with a several indications of a new Android version unveiling soon in the near future. There was nothing from the G in Google I/O too, although the release of next Android OS has been hinted by the company which quietly issued a press release after the keynote announcing that future Android version would be supporting Bluetooth Smart (BLE : Bluetooth Low Energy) technology.

Also, earlier a rumor had suggested that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS will be launched on June 10 alongside the white Nexus 4 – same dates as of the scheduled WWDC 2013 keynote. But right now, there are no confirmations and no official announcements. Regardless, we are sensing the presence of Android 4.3 somewhere around us in the near time and crazily waiting for it! Fingers crossed.

Yesterday, Intel held a teleconference in which the company detailed their upcoming 4th generation Haswell “Low Power” architecture which brings improved efficiency and performance over its Ivy Bridge predecessors. Intel’s Haswell platform is expected to launch during the first week of June.

Intel Haswell Low Power Core Architecture Detailed

We have already seen a glimpse of Intel’s 4th generation low power core architecture which would power the upcoming tablets, notebooks, All-In-one PCs and NUCs. Haswell as a processor architecture would be unified enabling it to scale all the way from servers to desktops and tablets. It would be available in different tiers at launch day which would include the powerful desktop K-series, all the way down to R-Series for NUCs and Y/U low-power series for Ultrabooks, tablets and notebooks. Haswell would bring an enhanced version of the 22nm architecture we saw on Ivy Bridge with 3D Transistors technology that would be optimized for low power with hindering core performance.

Features wise, Haswell delivers upto 50% battery life compared to Ivy Bridge in workload conditions and around 2 -3 times battery life in idle states. Battery life on one side, Haswell also improves overall computing performance and pushes the graphical boundaries on Intel’s core processors. The Haswell low power processors would be the worlds first to feature an onboard EDRAM module which was seen a while ago with BGA packaged R-Series chips. The onboard EDRAM package would only be delivered with the HD 5200 “Iris Pro chips” which offer upto 2-3 times visual power compared to previous generation HD 4000 series cores.

New idle states would be introduced in Haswell processors which would push the clock rate down till 700-800 MHz range in idle mode to conserve battery life for notebooks and ultrabooks. For tablets, Haswell would prove to be a major boost over the traditional ARM and Qualcomm supplied processors. It would also bring key changes to the power delivery on processors by integrating upto 320 voltage regulators on the CPU die itself. This design would be really useful for Haswell since it paves the way into making much efficient system on chip solutions. With the new core, Intel could prove a key role into the low power products market which include notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets and many more form factors such as NUCs and more to come.
