On the featured demo you will see the Android OS running on a reference device based on the Qualcomm MSM7200 with a 300Mhz processor.
The chipset is gaining popularity with PocketPC manufacturers - it was also in the root of the HTC user upheaval for some reportedly missing video drivers. The Android OS however benefits from the Qualcomm integrated 2D/3D accelerator in a way that the disgruntled HTC users could only wish for - it's playing a Quake demo at 30 fps.
it would be possible to ripp off the drivers from the new devices and somehow put them on htc's that lack such drivers?
Isn't android linux based?
Yes; I doubt such portability of drivers is feasible.
In Quadrant Standart it says that my CPU is ARMv7. On a presentation site, it says that Milestone has Cortex-A8. Is that ok?
ARMv7 is the seventh version of the ARM instruction set architecture. The Cortex-A8 is a core that implements it. There are others.

with the new exynos and mtk octa core in the market , i was wandering if its possible for our phone to change cpu ? would a octa core be compatible ?
That is not PC dude. Anyway it would be great if possible
I don't think so. The motherboard may be not compitable with new cpu

Ahh no sorry, there are two challenges that you would have too overcome, the first being the hardware aspect. The tegra 3 SoC isn't just a CPU but APU that has both a CPU and GPU on the same chip. This chip is physically soldered to the motherboard. While its not inconceivable that a very skilled person might be able to remove the chip and replace it with an identical chip (in theory).
You cant replace the tegra chip with another for both hardware and software incompatibilites, our phones whole motherboard is designed around the tegra3 and its very intricate details of operation. But let's pretend the hardware will be compatible and a exynos octa core is what we will use, the next problem is software. The kernel is the core of an operating system, on the arm platform the Linux kernel is different to that of x86 based devices, arm devices need extremely specific kernel support, you would in essence have to rewrite or re engineer an entire devices specific hardware support in the kernel, for scale the difference between mainline 3.1 and the 3.1 android kernel in our device is about a million lines of code, I'd guess lge's changes would be around 50,000 lines of code for our device.
But I somehow don't think its worth it

right the whole kernel must change. too much for me
Just wondering if there will be support for AMD processors in the near future?
Has anyone had any success with an AMD CPU/APU?

Well...short answer....no.
It use Intel dev tools for android.
And amd does not build android devices unlike Intel.
They need to switch to virtualbox like other emulators.
But it will have slower video support.
To add to what @tailslol said, Android Studio (which is what Remix OS Player is based on) requires HAXM to run. AMD doesn't support HAXM. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
Hi I'm using Intel Core i7 7700HQ Kabylake processor and intel virtualization technology is enabled also I have the latest version of remix OS player
Yes. I have same problem. Kabylake 7700K my CPU
