Intel Has Android ICS Running on Smartphones, Tablets
An article published by PC World indicates that Intel-based Android tablets and smartphones could become available sometime in 2012.
PC World quoted Alec Gefrides, head of the Google Program Office at Intel, stating that Medfield may be combined with Android versions 2.3, 3.x and 4.0. According to Gefrides, Intel is offering Medfield drivers to smartphone and tablet makers at this time. Intel continues to work with Google to make sure Android runs well on its processors.
Intel has been trying to prep its Atom processors since mid-2008, when the company told us that it would not mind if Apple would choose its Atom processor as a future CPU for its phones. However, the company has been struggling to gain support among device makers and has yet to announce a major vendor that is willing to use Intel processors for smartphones. The collaboration with Google is critical for Intel to show credibility as a foundation for possible design wins in the future.
Last week, the developers of the Android-x86 project announced that they succeeded in getting Android 4 to run on AMD's Brazos platform and that they were still working to achieve the same result on Intel chips. Developer Chih-Wei Huang told PC World that Intel ignores their requests for support. Gefrides commented on the note that his company "has to focus resources on building products, not experiments."
The world had turned upside down.

Only this is on a larger scale lol
more like an orgy party.
I am actually excited that means Intel's solution is efficient enough to meet the phone market. However, i wonder how it would compare when it comes media acceleration and games in comparison to Tegra 3.

Trying to compare X86 to Arm instruction sets in relation to speed is like trying to compare Pearl to C in relation to speed. They are completely different languages. Yes they can both achieve the same things, but each has their own strength's and weaknesses.
actually you are wrong ARM has a shorter instruction set, there are things that an X86 can do alot faster than ARM, there is NOTHING ARM can do faster than X86!
The instruction set of ARM is Reduced extra steps are required to do something an X86 can do with shorter instruction, I know I program in both and X86 is FAR more efficient than ARM.
how did you quote something is DID NOT SAY
