It’s exciting to see this week’s release by Google of the first 64-bit emulator image for Intel® architecture—or any CPU architecture—and what this means for developers. The addition of this emulator image to the Android L Developer Preview Software Development Kit (SDK), along with the 64-bit Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM), provides fast Android app emulation on host machines for Intel architecture. Developers can now write and test 64-bit software programs and apps for 64-bit Android devices, and accelerate this emulation, before testing on the actual hardware itself. What this means is faster development and time-to-market for developers.
I always get a lot of questions around how 64-bit computing translates in our everyday lives. And the answer is anything that is computationally intensive. Whether its smoother performance and more detailed graphics for games, greater life-like characters and scenes in animated movies, increased performance database processing, more robust security, 64-bit will help.
Today, Intel sees a strong need for 64-bit computing in the mobile industry, much like in earlier days with desktops and servers. With 64-bit technology, the platform can address much larger memory and much higher throughput. Think of it much like driving along an 8-lane freeway versus a 4-lane freeway.
We led the industry transition to 64-bit across desktops and servers, hardening and optimizing core OSs such as Linux and Windows, and infrastructure applications, like runtimes and databases for 64-bit computing. Today, Intel is committed to advancing the mobile ecosystem by easing this same transition across tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices.
This commitment is evident not only in the delivery of the industry’s first 64-bit emulator image for Intel architecture, and 64-bit Intel HAXM within the Android L Developer Preview SDK, but also in many other innovations along the way such as the first 64-bit kernel for Android KitKat earlier this year, the 64-bit Android Native Development Kit (NDK), and other 64-bit advancements over the last decade.
I’m very proud of the engineering teams at Intel who, together with Google, have spent countless hours and weekends to make this achievement possible. I believe the emergence of 64-bit technology in the mobile industry can change the landscape for mobile developers and consumers alike and we look forward to seeing what developers create with Android and 64-bit computing on Intel architecture.
