AMD and Intel will put their rivalry to bed in order to work on the open source mobile OS project MeeGo.
The smaller of the chip makers will join Intel and partner Nokia to further develop the OS, which was born out of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo OS' back in February.
The announcement of the joint venture was made during the MeeGo Conference 2010 being held in Dublin this week.
Ben Bar-Haim, corporate vice president of software development at AMD, said: "MeeGo represents an exciting, open-source mobile operating system we expect to be adopted by mobile and embedded device makers over time."
"We are glad to provide engineering resources to joint industry efforts like MeeGo and expect that this operating system will help drive our embedded plans and create expanded market opportunities for our forthcoming Accelerated Processing Units."
The mobile OS will be used in tablets as well as smartphones. The first tablet based on MeeGo, the WeTab, was launched back in September by Neofonie and 4tiitoo.
With a plethora of mobile operating systems on the market, from Apple's iOS through to Google's Android, there is stiff competition for MeeGo. However, at this year's Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, Renee James, senior vice president of the software and services group at Intel, claimed it could easily play alongside and be part of the "top five."
