During an emotional speech delivered today at the Slush conference, Jolla's Marc Dillon unveiled the company's next product: the Jolla tablet, running Sailfish OS 2.0. He launched a crowdfunding campaign for the tablet, with a goal of $380,000 - which was achieved in less than three hours (this may be one of the fastest funding consumer electronics devices ever). I got in early, and was one of the very first people to back the tablet (just as I was one of the first to back the Jolla phone a year ago). A second round has already been announced. Big news for American readers: it'll be available in the US too.
The tablet itself is very similar in specifications to Nokia's N1 tablet, with an 1.8GHz quad-core Intel processor, 2GB RAM, 2048x1536 330ppi 7.85" IPS display, 32GB storage, and all the usual sensors and ports you have come to expect. It's quite light and compact, and has its own design - there's no way people are going to twist this one into an iPad copy.
The tablet is expected to be delivered to us early backers in May 2015, and I can't wait. Also, Mr. Dillon, keep rocking that beard.

The link from the Intel article about the Jolla tablet you first posted does not list any processors at 1.8GHz.
I think the answer is the most obvious one... Jolla has not listed the GPU because they don't know or decided yet. Hell, they could change the CPU for the finished product...

The z3700-series were introduced in Q1'14. There are several that match the 1.8Ghz specified by Jolla: http://ark.intel.com/m/products/series/76761/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z...
Of course I don't know if the article is correct - but it's on an Intel site so I guess it's not entirely impossible it is.
