He said Intel would optimize Intel Architecture for Android, and Rubin said Google would optimize Android for Intel chips.
Rick Echevarria, vice president of the Intel architecture group and general manager of its business client platform division, sounded like he had heard this question before.
FORBES: Intel Ultrabooks and Windows 8 Are Ready For Business
In 2006 Intel sold its nascent xscale smartphone processor business to Marvell, after Intel's engineers decided they could eventually shrink the Intel architecture powering the world's PCs into a handheld processor.
Both ARM and Intel architecture will be Windows 8 compatible and we feel that the backward compatibility of Intel processor with older versions might not suffice as a significant differentiating factor.
In a note to UMG employees, UMG leader Anand Chandrasekher said that Bell will help build and lead a team to build breakthrough smartphone reference designs to accelerate Intel Architecture into the market.

But he looked ahead toward the Haswell generation of Intel Architecture, which will come out in 22nm after Ivy Bridge, as the point at which Intel and its partners will be able to offer devices that can remain in standby mode, but still connected to the Internet (to receive, for example, phone calls or alerts) for 10 days without a recharge.
Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on hardware and software configurations.

Nobody could challenge Intel and the architecture of the PC never really changed.
Unlike Windows, which has been tied to Intel's processor architecture, Google's Android operating system is processor agnostic.
Haswell will replace the currently popular Ivy Bridge architecture by Intel.

"This was one of our little secrets that we didn't want to disclose, " says Robert Knighten, peer-to-peer evangelist with Intel's Enterprise Architecture Lab, which develops software for big systems.
Still, you only get 320GB of storage, and the CPU belongs to Intel's older Arrandale architecture.

That insight is what led to the success of first the Pentium M, and more recently Intel's so-called Core architecture.
Back in 1994, the company formally announced an alliance with Intel that promised to rewrite the fundamental architecture of computing.
FORBES: Question of the Day: Why Does HP Continue to Screw Up?
As a result, Intel is losing out to chipmakers using architecture from ARM Holdings for processors that appear in tablets and phones.

The size of the mass market for personal computers gave Intel the resources needed to bulk that architecture up for servers and supercomputers, and scale it down for laptops.
In September 2010, Intel launched its second-generation core architecture, Sandy Bridge, a 32-nanometer chip that can put CPUs and GPUs onto a single piece of silicon designed for tasks like handling high-definition video.
FORBES: AMD Stock Price Sensitive To Intel Market Share Theft
But if the new architecture works as well as Intel hopes, it should eventually make its way to the desktop and that sturdy old workhorse the x86 may, at last, become a thing of the past.
The VAX remains the single most influential computer of all time--not just because of its pre-eminence among minis in the 1970s and 1980s, but because Ted Hoff so admired it that he used its architecture as the basis of the Intel 4004, the world's first microprocessor.
However, Intel has to educate developers away from that behavior, or at least towards multi-architecture optimization, and the only way it does that is by pushing lots of Intel-equipped devices into the hands of users.
In a way, the PC was unique where, as I said, because of its architecture and because the microprocessor was such a dominant part of the whole architecture, it was actually quite easy for Intel to dominate.
They claim that desktop processors built on Intel's future, 14-nanometer Broadwell architecture will be switching from contacts based on a land grid array (LGA) to a ball grid array (BGA) that could dictate soldering the chips in laptop-style, rather than putting them in an upgrade-friendly socket.
ENGADGET: Intel rumored moving to non-upgradable desktop CPUs with Broadwell
This year Intel will lap AMD by finally scrapping the old Pentium-chip architecture in favor of a suite of lower-temperature, dual-core microprocessors that consume 35% less power and increase performance by 80%.
Intel is going to launch its next generation CPU (central processing unit) architecture Sandy Bridge in January 2011.
