Intel's new Clover Trail chip will support Android and Linux (ZDNet)
ZDNet reports
that Intel is working on a Clover Trail Atom processor for Linux. "We now know that Intel will officially support the popular open-source operating systems on the Clover Trail family as well.
In an e-mail from an Intel spokesperson, Intel said, "Intel has plans for another version of this platform directed at Linux/Android; however we are not commenting on the platform specifics or market segments at this time. Stay tuned.”"

Intel's new Clover Trail chip will support Android and Linux (ZDNet) Posted Sep 19, 2012 21:41 UTC (Wed) by horen (subscriber, #2514) [Link] So, one version for Windows, another version for Android/Linux... and farewell to dual-booting, eh? What impact will this have on VMs? (Indeed, will this change still allow for guest VMs with a different OS than the host?)

I think the time when smartphones, tablets and the other types of underpowered miniature computers that are using atom processors are powerful enough to make good use of virtualization is still a few years away. Hopefully, Intel will have stopped this nonsense by then - my guess would be that this is more a question of licensing third party GPUs than a deliberate strategy.

I routinely use virtual machines on a miniature computer using a 1.6 GHz Atom CPU. It is underpowered only relative to high-power desktop processors. It wouldn't be a good choice for the latest first-person shooters, but there are plenty of non-graphics workloads that are just fine running in a VM on it.

Translation: Microsoft don't want their ("their") Windows 8 devices to be jailbroken using information released to Linux developers.
