It didn’t come as a complete surprise, since the rumors surrounding Amazon’s potential use of the powerful 2.2GHz quad-core processors had circulated for months. But to actually see it materialize is another enchilada altogether. And the price is great too.

All in all Amazon unveiled 3 new Kindle Fire tablets today. This is Amazon’s 3rd generation of Kindle Fire tablets.

The new Kindle Fire’s are the 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX 7, powered by the 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, with a 1920×1200 display at 323 PPI. Starting at only $229 with 16GB it wil be released on October 18.

The larger 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 features the very same powerful 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor but with an even more delightful 2560×1600 display at 339 PPI. Priced from $379 with 16GB, this tablet will be released on November 7.

In addition, Amazon launched a new Kindle Fire HD 7 too. This is an entry level budget tablet, starting at a mere $139. For that price you get a 7-inch HD Android tablet with a 1280×800 resolution, and 1.5GHz dual-core processor. This tablet starts shipping on October 2.

When Amazon launched their new Kindle Fire’s last year, they proved so popular that there soon was a 2-3 week waiting list for the those who ordered just a few days before the release date.
