Re: ubuntu touch for x86 tablet?

 

I googled for this CPU while evaluating to buy a Windows 8 tablet and found
out this CPU does  not support Linux in an way. Somehow its enough x86 for
the tablet version of Windows but not a true x86CPU at all. We need linux
in this new Tablet Atom before we can have Ubuntu Touch on the whole
Tablet. Please share futher research, I am very intrested in this topic.
Beste regards.
