Upcoming Android updates will be compatible with Intel processors
Intel gets a boost in its efforts to break into the tablet and smartphone markets.

Google has announced today that upcoming versions of Android will be compatible with Intel processors. Currently Intel processors, as part of "Wintel," have only been compatible with Windows devices.



Says Intel of the big move:

We want to make Intel architecture the platform of choice for smartphones. Every time we have collaborated with Google, good things have come out of it.


With the news, Intel will finally become part of the smartphone mania that is currently dominated by Nvidia, Qualcomm and TI and designed by ARM.
