The two companies
have teamed up to bring 500,000 mobile Android apps to Windows PCs through the
AMD AppZone Player starting Thursday. The software is powered by BlueStacks, a
company that makes it possible to download and run Android apps on PCs and
Macs.
The partnership between
BlueStacks and AMD, which has invested in the software company, focuses on
optimizing Android apps for AMD-powered Windows devices. While Intel-powered
PCs can access Android apps through BlueStacks’ original Windows software, the
AppZone Player is optimized for AMD’s GPU and APU technology.
“This helps AMD
leapfrog Intel by making Windows 8 more attractive on their tablets and PCs,”
BlueStacks CEO Rosen Sharma told Wired in an e-mail. “We’ve worked closely
together to optimize the performance of the apps for AMD’s unique ‘graphics and
computing on one chip’ setup. The result is awesome — mobile apps run
beautifully on their machines.”
The AppZone Player
is especially useful considering the nascent state of app development for
Windows 8. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is currently pitching the new system to
developers, but the platform has only around 2,000 apps just one month before
launch. With BlueStacks’ technology, AMD PC users won’t have to worry; they
will be able to easily access the apps available on the established Android
ecosystem.
Popular apps like
Flipboard, Homerun Baseball and Jetpack Joyride will be available to use on
current AMD-powered Windows 7 PCs and upcoming Windows 8 devices (including
touch-enabled ones). Currently, however, most manufacturers have announced
Intel-powered Windows 8 PCs, notebooks and tablets.…Read
