AMD has announced it will launch processors specifically for the tablet market later in 2012 and that Windows 8 will be used inside some of those tablet products.



From Neowin:

Windows 8 was designed with the tablet market in mind along with the PC desktop and notebook markets. For the most part Intel and ARM-based processor companies have talked about their plans for Windows 8-based devices. But what about AMD? The long time competitor to Intel in the x86 PC processor market has been largely silent about its own Windows 8 plans.

Now that may be changing. Venture Beat reports that during AMD's annual analyst day event, the company announced it would be developing a processor specifically for the tablet market for launch later in 2012. More importantly, Lisa Su, the head of global products at AMD, confirmed that Windows 8 will be seen in tablet products with AMD-based processors inside them in 2012.
