For more information, visit www.intel.com/go/intelinsider.
• Security features enabled by Intel® AMT require an enabled chipset, network hardware and software and a corporate network connection. Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. Setup
requires configuration and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks, and modifications or implementation of new business processes. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/manage/iamt.
• No system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Requires an enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware and software and a subscription with a capable Service Provider. Consult your system manufacturer and Service Provider for availability and functionality. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/go/anti-theft
• Requires an Execute Disable Bit enabled system. Check with your PC manufacturer to determine whether your system delivers this functionality. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/xdbit/index.htm

Legal Notices and Disclaimers, cont.
• Intel® vPro™ Technology is sophisticated and requires setup and activation. Availability of features and results will depend upon the setup and configuration of your hardware, software and IT environment. To learn more visit: http://www.intel.com/technology/vpro
• The original equipment manufacturer must provide TPM functionality, which requires a TPM-supported BIOS. TPM functionality must be initialized and may not be available in all countries.
• Intel® AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI enabled processor, as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the correct sequence. AES-NI is available on select Intel® processors. For availability, consult your reseller or system manufacturer. For more information, see http://software.intel.com/en-
us/articles/intel-advanced-encryption-standard-instructions-aes-ni/

Most Android* Apps Will “Just Work” on Atom
Android Dalvik apps • These should “just work”– we do extensive testing of pre-production systems
Android native (NDK) apps • Most will run w/o any recompilation but … • A simple recompile using the Android NDK yields the best performance • If the developer uses ARM-specific features, add equivalent Intel SSE features
Top Android Market apps • Intel validates and tests on Intel® Atom™ processor platforms (Mix of Dalvik and native (NDK) apps)
Top Geo-specific apps • Intel validates and promotes in support of product launches • Intel works with developers if native optimizations needed

“Thanks to contributions to AOSP from Intel, the emulator now supports
running x86 system images in virtualization mode on Windows and Mac OSX. This allows the emulator running at
near native speed.”
