During its Analyst day, AMD's CEO Rory Read said that his company would “leverage its PC chips technology” to enter the tablet market. He also said that AMD would stay away from smartphones at the moment, because it is a “low-margin” business in his opinion (interestingly, Qualcomm has posted record revenues). Overall, it seems obvious that AMD is banking on Windows 8 when it comes to tablets. AMD's hope is that in a low(er)-power environment, it will be able to outdo its archrival Intel, which has demonstrated a viable “medfield” X86 chip for smartphones.
Ubergizmo, AMD to double down on mobility, thin & light
