Released November, 2012
by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)The Exynos 5250 is faster than any other dual-core tablet chip we've seen, and isn't too far off quad-core chips like Tegra 3.
Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Oct, 2012)Its size is large enough to discard mobile sites in favour of the full-fat versions, and the capacitive screen is extremely responsive and allows multi-touch gestures.

screen size
10.1"
8.9"
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)Samsung has used a soft-touch finish on the rear, which is a good second-place choice.
Kindle Fire HD by Robin-C.-Bryant--Mrs.-Bryant (Nov, 2012)I LOVE the HD display as well as the size of the new kindle fire.
screen resolution
Kindle Fire HD by Gregory-S.-MacBeth---Be-polite--be-professional--but-have-a-plan-to-kill-everybody-you-meet.--Gen-Mattis (Dec, 2012)With a resolution of 1920 x 1200 you will easily be able to watch videos in full HD brilliance and to be honest anything beyond this resolution in this size of a screen is overkill that is just using more power.
processor
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)And if you put a single core of the Exynos against a core of the Tegra 3 chip, there'd be no contest - the Exynos would win hands down.
Kindle Fire HD by Tony-Chang (Dec, 2012)My phone (Atrix HD) runs faster than my Kindle Fire HD 8.9, and my phone isn't even that fast (has same dual core 1.5ghz though).
