It looks like they have a lot of catching up to do; x86 CPUs in a ARM dominated market must be tough, especially with quad-core phone CPUs already hitting the market.

These ARM quads aren't that exciting. They're not like desktop quads, they're not even as fast as the lower end core 2 duo chips.
Will I be able to pretend to play F1 2011 on it?
Not going to consider buying it until Moto starts to unlock bootloaders as they have previously promised.
fuck where is AMD..
[QUOTE=BaconMan_lol;34155620]fuck where is AMD..[/QUOTE]
It's sad to see their new CPU line get released with hardware imperfections, otherwise AMD could contend here too.
It's not like they won't follow suit though, usually it has to take one company to kickstart the idea for others to contend. It might be likely that they will enter the cellphone market after seeing Intel making grounds.
Android market doesn't run under x86...
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;34158496]Android market doesn't run under x86...[/QUOTE]
It does, every App in android is cross plataform from the go. The unnofficial x86 build didn't have it because only Google approved builds can have it.
No, [url]http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html[/url]
There's lots of apps which will only run under ARM, and you need to be ported (often as simple as a recompile but still).
ARM machine code doesn't execute on x86 platforms and vice versa. The source needs to be recompiled like BrainDeath said.
Of course if the program is dalvik only then yes it will work.
Wouldn't that require a Dalvik port to other architectures or does Dalvik emulate x86 on the ARM chip or something?
x86 intel phone, eh? Well, that's one step closer for me to get windows 98 on a phone!

Except for a few games and flash (and a few apps like Veetle that use flash), rarely does any app on android use specifice processor code.
Regardless, the point was that the Market and pretty much any component of it out of the box is cross-plataform because it uses only dalvik, so the market which does use Dalvik is cross-plataform.

Yes, but Dalvik is integral part of Android. To port Android you need to port Dalvik otherwise a lot of basic stuff to run Android won't work.

Weren't they focusing on mobile O_O?
