AMD looks to Android

AMD is trying to recruit new developers who will work on drivers for the operating system from Google. MSI should have a shelf Honeycomb Brazos. Acer is expected to follow suit in the near future. So we imagine it will be important for the firm to have graphics drivers optimized for Android. Remember, the Brazos is the first platform of the firm Fusion.

They integrate processors Ontario (Series C) and Zacate (Series E). They have also, on the same die, a chipset and Mobility Radeon HD 6xxx are etched into 40 nm. AMD will not be easy since it will face the Oak Trail Intel Atom platform which has already attracted Lenovo. Fujitsu, Samsung and many others.

In addition, the market shelves today is largely dominated by Apple and ARM processors. Computex will be the opportunity for market participants to reverse the trend by highlighting the shelf x86.
