Google enforces strict hardware standards

The Googlebook will be powered by processors from Intel, Qualcomm, and MediaTek, according to Google vice president John Maletis in an interview with Chrome Unboxed. Google is enforcing strict specifications for processors, memory, and keyboard layouts to ensure a consistent high-end experience and prevent fragmentation across the ecosystem.

Google has not confirmed whether AMD will participate in the Googlebook ecosystem. The company has not issued an official statement on the matter as of the time of reporting.
