Nexus 10 packs powerful components inside a surprisingly lean, soft-to-the-touch frame – measuring an incredibly thin 8.9 mm and weighing just 603 grams, it’s the perfect couch or coffee table companion. Nexus 10 was created in partnership with Samsung and comes with a blazing fast dual-core A15 processor and advanced MIMO WiFi, giving you web browsing speeds up to 4x faster than normal WiFi.* With the 1.9MP front-facing camera, you’ll look great as you video chat with up to nine friends at once with Google+ Hangouts, and so will your friends on the dazzling 10" display.

Nexus 10 was made for everyone to enjoy. Just turn on your tablet and tap your photo to sign in to your own home screen, apps, email, photos and storage. All new multi-user support lets each user have their own separate space, and save their own individual high scores on games, all on the same tablet.

I just realized this thing only has a dual core processor, I guess I just assumed it would have the quad core used in the Note 10.1. It does have powerful graphics but now I am seriously curious to see how this benchmarks.

I don't see any spec about the battery though.

9000 mah, I believe 9 hrs of video playback under the usual conditions. Seems reasonable enough.

Thanks, Tom!

Don't be fooled into thinking this isn't a capable processor. ARM's 2014 processors will blow today's smartphone chips away, with 3x the performance or 1/4 the battery drain | The Verge

Which is why I am very interested in seeing the benchmarks. As it stands right now the quad core Exynos used in the Note is by far the most powerful chip used in a currently selling tablet. These things change quickly, and I know it won't be long before the Exynos, and the already ageing Tegra 3, will be replaced with even ore powerful, battery friendly chips.

Definitely the good kind of progress power and energy savings I'm sure benchmarks will start appearing next week.
