Intel has had a string of nasty luck in 2011, with a Sandy Bridge chipset defect that’ll take billions of dollars to fix, and now of course, news of Nokia quite incontrovertibly backing out of their co-developed MeeGo ecosystem. While Intel probably doesn’t actually have a chip on its shoulder, its Anand Chandrasekher had a point to prove about Intel’s upcoming Medfield mobile processors, the Atom meant exclusively for mobiles.
Promising never before seen battery life in an x86 mobile processor, the Medfield will also support the ARM-based Android OS.
In a separate event at MWC, Intel’s Mike Richmond also showed off the tablet-specific version of the MeeGo UI. The Nokia-backed shift for a unifying Qt framework has kind of left MeeGo and Intel stranded without C++ as an ecosystem – and for now, there was not much to see beyond four primary/native applications.
