Heiner have just announced that its next generation M9 7 inch tablet, due next month, will be powered by a new Cortex A9 based CPU sourced from Japan.
The news comes as quite a shock, as most other Chinese tablet makers are looking in to producing Nvida Tegra 2 based tablets, it seems a bit of a gamble for Heiner to be going for chips made by the unknown Renesas Japanese chip maker.
In fact Renesas is actually a sister company to the much larger and more famous NEC brand!
