In recent months, the new Nexus 7 spotted several times as the ASUS K009, equipped with a Snapdragon processor 600. At first we were assuming that the WiFi-only model, the K008, would have a Snapdragon S4（THL W11 Monkey King） Pro processor and 4G/LTE model a newer Snapdragon chip 600. However, Google released during the presentation of the tablet know that both models run on a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz.

Yet it seems to be. Bit more complicated According to the website Anandtech does not have the new Nexus 7 namely the standard Snapdragon S4 Pro, also called APQ8064. The chip used in the tablet is the APQ8064-1AA, a special version of the Snapdragon S4 Pro that does not have four Krait cores but 200-300-four Krait cores available.
