AMD needs to set priorities and it seems that Android is not one of them. AMD executive Lisa Su told InfoWorld that the company is betting heavily on Windows 8 as it tries to make an entry in the tablet market. AMD has no plan to support Android, despite Google's OS being the most-widely used operating system in this market, if you exclude Apple's iPad.

 Su says the upcoming Temash APU is anticipated to ship in Windows 8 tablets with pricing around $499 to $599.
"We're betting heavily on Windows 8," Su said.

Windows 8 may be off to a slow start, but will catch on in the future, Su said. Windows 8 tablets in many different screen sizes and features will be released in the future, and AMD is interested in higher-end tablets that can run full applications and graphics, Su said.

The company is also not interested in enabling Android tablets at the moment, Su said.

Many popular low-cost tablets such as Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HD, both of which are priced at $199, run on the Android OS. Tablets running Windows RT and Windows 8 largely start at around $499.
