Intel's 2014 Android ambitions embrace 64-bit, more tablets

Intel has big Android ambitions for 2014. The chipmaker's points of focus for the year ahead include 64-bit processing power and more tablets.

While still overwhelmingly a purveyor of processors for Windows PCs, Intel knows Android is its ticket to a bigger share of the mobile market.

One way to make a mark is to go to 64-bit, a feature its processors already support on Windows.
"We're going to scale Android to 64-bit. We're going to allow it to scale from Atom [processors] all the way to the high-end of the Core processor family," said Kirk Skaugen, general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel, speaking at the chipmaker's investor meeting in November.
