Samsung might grace the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) with a quad-core processor before launching it

UPDATE: The US version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) will remain dual-core and its shipping date is still May 13, with preorders starting May 4, Samsung clarified for us.
Quad-core is good for marketing purposes and as far as production costs go it is not much different than dual-core, especially if Samsung uses its own Exynos processors, but even if it has some Tegras lying around, the difference in assembly price should be insignificant. The 10-incher is codenamed Espresso and apparently scheduled for June launch.
