This week at Mobile World Congress AMD is showcasing a reference design for a 64-bit Windows tablet featuring its upcoming “Mullins” low-power processor. Meanwhile VIA is showing off a reference design for a tablet that runs Firefox OS.

I wondered why Qualcomm would be making a tablet using another manufacturers processor.
