Intel’s Gigantic Android Goals for 2014

For the year 2014, Intel has very big and gigantic Android ambitions. Being one of the most popular chipmakers, Intel is mainly focusing on the year ahead and it has plans to introduce 64-bit processing power and many more tablets. The company knows that Android is ticket to the finale as it can help company to gain biggest market share of the mobile market.

There are lots of people, who say that 64-bit CPUs are still mostly attention-grabber in the market. No doubt that Apple also managed to grab the attention when it declared that the iPhone 5S will be the world’s first 64-bit device that powered by the Apple A7. According to the company, one of the major ways to create a score is to opt for 64-bit, which is a feature its processors that supports on Windows.

At the chipmaker’s investor meeting in November, a general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel, Kirk Skaugen said “We're going to scale Android to 64-bit. We're going to allow it to scale from Atom [processors] all the way to the high-end of the Core processor family”.

However, it is still not clear that when Intel plans to make this happen in the reality, but we can say that there is some kind of race to get there. When Apple shocked the mobile world in the month of September with its excellent quality 64-bit A7 processor, various Android suppliers were nippy to speak up.

Recently, Samsung has also talked about a two-step process for 64-bit and Qualcomm said that a Snapdragon processor with 64-bit support will surely hit the market in 2014. When it comes to talk about the Intel’s other path to bigger Android market share, it is getting its silicon into low-cost devices. The company is looking to make a record on saying that $100 devices are great target.

Recently, Digitimes also posted a complete list of Intel Android Tablet specifications that comprises “Bay Trail" Atom processor-based models ranging from $99 to $129 (7-inch), from $149 to $199 (7- and 8-inch), and all the way up to 10-inch models priced at $249 and above.

Intel’s another part of the plan is to get Android running on devices, which looks similarly with PCs. Kirk Skaugen also said "The strategy is very simple: we're going to support what the market desires”. But still it is unaware that when we are going to have a 64-bit Intel-powered Android tablets, but all we can do is cross the fingers and wait for company to launch its first 64-bit Intel-powered Android tablet.
