"Some instructions can not be emulated on different architectures, but there will be compatibility with all, " explains James. During CES, ran a machine running Microsoft Office on ARM structure. Part of that code had to be rewritten and recompiled.
In terms of architecture is still not very clear what is or is not compatible next-generation processors when it comes to Intel tablets demonstrates that the format did come to stay and said it must provide ten new models at Computex.
The new models are compatible with the Android OS, Windows and MeeGo. Most of the tablets, however, should be available only in Asian markets. The Computex 2011 will begin on May 31 and will be held in Taiwan.
