NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Over 2.9 million registered Unity
developers can now write native Android mobile apps for Intel
processors and graphics technology
- Enhanced user experience on Intel-based
Android devices with faster and better performing native apps
- Collaboration to cover a wide range of
current and future Intel-based Android devices
Intel Corporation and Unity Technologies today announced a
strategic collaboration to advance the development of
Android*-based applications on Intel® architecture. The agreement
accelerates Intel’s mobility push as millions of developers using
the Unity development platform can now bring native Android games
and other apps to Intel-based mobile devices. Unity adds support
for Android across all of Intel’s current and future processors
including both the Intel® Core™ and Intel® Atom™ processor
families.
Unity will ensure Intel product enhancements, including both
graphics and CPU performance improvements and features, will be
seamlessly integrated into future releases of the Unity 4 and Unity
5 product lines. As Intel architecture continues to gain market
segment share on mobile devices, these improvements will help
ensure that the Unity developers’ games run natively as well as
look great and perform beautifully on Intel platforms.
In addition, developers using Unity can now easily add support
for Intel architecture in their applications or produce native
applications for Intel architecture only with minimal extra
effort.
“We’ve set a goal to ship 40 million Intel-based tablets this
year and expect more than 100 Android tablet designs on Intel in
the market by the end of this year,” said Doug Fisher, Intel
corporate vice president and general manager of the Software and
Services Group. “Our collaboration with Unity will give its nearly
3 million developers the necessary software tools and support to
build amazing Android experiences on Intel architecture.”
“Unity is used by half of all mobile game developers, and many
of them have been asking for increased support for Intel-based
devices running Android,” said David Helgason, CEO, Unity
Technologies. “We are proud to be working with Intel to ensure that
Unity provides the smoothest and highest performing experience
possible on Intel platforms.”
“As a mobile gaming company, Kabam relies on the Unity game
engine and the compelling performance and efficiency it provides us
to publish our mobile games for players around the world,” said
Kent Wakeford, COO of Kabam. “We are very excited to bring
Unity-authored content, such as our upcoming title, ‘Marvel Contest
of Champions,’ to the rapidly growing installed base of
Intel-powered Android devices.”
