Launching the chip A7 that has implemented the 64-bit architecture has generated a real race among terminal manufacturers Android, they rush to bring to the market devices that have this available architecture. After Samsung, now those from Intel I support that it develops code-named Atom processors Bay Trail, which will be able to be used in Android tablets, the American company also developing a special version of this operating system. The special version of the Android OS is necessary because the processors cannot work properly with the Android 4.4 KitKat offered by Google, so it will be a good few months until these products are available to manufacturers.
Tablets with 64-bit versions of the Android OS and Intel Atom chips code-named Bay Trail will become available next year, Intel said on Thursday. The 64-bit Android tablets will be released after Bay Trail tablets with a 64-bit version of Microsoft's Windows 8.1 are released in the first quarter next year, Krzanich said. Intel has said Android tablets with Bay Trail could be available starting at $150. The Bay Trail chips already support 64-bit addressing.
Although the Intel company did not attach great importance to the development of processors for mobile terminals, the great success recorded by these devices made it change its mind, so now it will compete directly with Apple, Samsung and the rest of the big companies. The tablets that will include the 64-bit Intel Bay Trail platform would have a selling price of $150, at least that's what Intel wants, but it remains to be seen if its partners will agree. Intel's entry into this market is important, because we are talking about the largest seller of processors for PCs.
