Google Chrome for Android update paves way for Motorola Razr i

Most smartphone users wouldn't know if their device packs an ARM or Intel processor. They would care, perhaps, if software doesn't run, particularly as the first Intel-powered devices reach the mass-market.

Google has updated Chrome for Android, to run on x86 processors, paving way for its own subsidiary, Motorola, to release Razr i, which packs a 2GHz Intel Atom powerhouse.

Per the greater scheme of things the update is as important to Motorola as to other manufacturers that released Android Intel-based smartphones, but the timing is interesting since other Intel-based Android smartphones already are available, a good example being the Orange San Diego.
