According to Kitguru the partners will be helped if they release the Atom x3 system-on-chips code-named "SoFIA".
Intel has given partners reference designs for media tablets with 7", 8" and 10" displays. They will be powered by Intel Atom x3 processors with "Silvermont" micro-architecture and Google Android.
The reference designs include different apps and software. Depending on screen sizes, the new tablets from Intel's partners will cost more than $79, $89 and $129.
Intel will help Chinese white box tablet makers into new European, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia markets. Traditionally, Intel helps its partners with marketing money, business contacts and some other things.
Foxconn, Compal, Pegatron, Wistron and Elitegroup will handle manufacturing.
