With the ever growing popularity of the Android operating system, processor developers have been chomping at the bit to develop a chip that would be widely accepted by cellphone and tablet manufacturers. Intel, creator of The Atom processor used in notebooks and set top boxes, has had a hard time producing a processor that would function well on Android due to the fact that their chips are not very power efficient. With hopes to design an open source version of Gingerbread, Intel aims to provide a new line of E series chips that can be used on both tablets and phones that focus on better battery performance. With such a major presence in the desktop computing world, it’s no wonder that Intel wants a piece of the mobile marketplace.
Watch the video after the break to see Intel mention the possibility of bringing Android to the new Atom E series processors. (Gingerbread mentioned at about 50 seconds in).
