It seems that Intel has begun testing for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean carry their smartphones using its Atom processors.
Mike Bell, Intel vice president and general manager, said during a developer conference in San Francisco that is currently running the latest version of Android on its own device with other employees who also run Jelly Bean in Medfield smartphones.
When asked about the time that current aprooximado for Intel devices can receive an update to Android 4.1, Bell said that is out of their hands, saying: "We can not put it on the phones. We have to give it to the companies to install it on the phone and go through acceptance testing. "
Moreover, it is expected that the single-core Atom processor is the subject of a Motorola press event to be held next week in London. Intel also plans to introduce a dual-core version of Medfield processor smartphones to debut in early next year. Also in 2013 it will release the Intel Atom low-power to high-end smartphones Merrifield which are manufactured using the 22nm process (the current generation of Medfields are using the 32nm process). If that's not enough, Intel plans further extend until 2014, when they hope to launch a processor using a 14nm process. Yes, you read that right, 14 nm.
Will have to see how it goes Intel in its foray into the world of smartphones. Personally I would look into another player to have more options and varieties in the world of processors. We'll see what happens ...
