Normally this means a bigger form factor and more heat from the processor. Ivy Bridge chipset could be what they need to overcome heat and package a full blown enterprise OS in a tablet form.

Again from what I have read, look for intro shortly after Win 8 releases.
My HP Slate is Atom based. The Samsung is an i5. I think that is how you'll see the difference.
