That Intel wants to enter the Android market is nothing new. You only have to take a look at the Orange San Diego to realize that the American company sees a golden opportunity in this constantly growing market.
But Intel faces heavyweights, such as Nvidia or Qualcomm, who are not going to make things easy for it. It will be for that Intel has not hesitated to give birth to competitive processors, which they consider are not optimized for Android.
And it is that it has been Mike Bell, spokesman for Intel, the one in charge of bringing the colors out of his competitors. According to the technology giant, the multitude of proposals Soc (System-on-chip) existing on the market are not optimized to work properly with Android. S
According to Intel, the Android thread scheduler is not prepared for multicore processors, so the power of these is not used correctly.
The fault, according to Mike Bell, lies with the manufacturers who they have not bothered to optimize their processors for the Android system, removing all responsibility from Google and making clear evidence to its competitors.
Yes, Intel relies on a series of internal tests they did in which they concluded that some multicore implementations are slower than a single-core one. In addition, they do not see the improvement in terms of heat levels or consumption very clear.
Keep in mind that Intel bets on single-core processors. Of course, Intel clings to the Atom Medfield, which has Hyperthreading technology that allows multi-threaded processing capabilities.
With these more than controversial statements Intel just started a new war with your competitors. We will see how long they take to respond ...
