Google Nexus tablet appears in benchmarks, appears to run on quad-core Tegra 3

[![Google Nexus tablet appears in benchmarks, appears to run on quad-core Tegra 3][1] ][2]

ASUS's seven-inch MeMo tablet has just ducked under the [FCC's gates][3], but some benchmark results for a purported Google and ASUS team-up could tally with the same device. According to the listing, the Google Asus Nexus 7 will arrive with NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, clocked at 1.3 GHz, while that (presumably) 7-inch screen packs a 768 x 1280 resolution. The hardware specs end there, but thanks to some investigation by _Android Police_ and _Rightware_, it appears that this mystery tablet is running Android 4.1 -- possibly the version number for Android's next iteration, [Jelly Bean][4]. There are several more hints adding credence to these benchmark results, including the fish-based "grouper" codename, which follows the [Stingray moniker][5] that was handed to the Motorola Xoom ahead of its reveal. We're just itching to know whether it'll still manage a [sub-$300 price-tag][6].
