Intel had a footing in the very early phone market via StrongARM but they sold that off for some bizarre reason. They also got a little bit of a footing with Atom in the Android market, which is why Android/x86 was a thing, but they didn't seem to take that seriously either.
- dathinab 6y agoThanks, I didn't know. I always thought Android/x86 exists for "special purpose" reasons, including to make it easy to prototype Java Android Apps and similar. (I mean for pure Java Android Apps the difference in code you write between x86 and ARM Android should be very very small. Through it doesn't work out that well once JNI is involved, I guess)
