AIUI they would use static translation in the cloud during package upload, not during runtime / on-device:
"ARM native NDK apps on the other hand are translated by Intel in the cloud, validated against Intel's Android x86 emulator and pushed to the Play Store. The point is the bulk of binary translation happens away the device itself and running on much faster Xeons in the cloud. As binary translation requires more cycles than natively running the code, which in turn consumes additional power, this was the only route for Intel to ensure that Atom would remain power efficient (and high performance) even on non-native NDK apps."

Another Medfield phone, the Lenovo K800 has been released this month as well, though apparently only in China. It's similar to the Xolo. but a bit chunkier with a bigger 720p screen.
There are finally some videos up on Youtube:
Unboxing & hands on (in Chinese)
Gameplay (with WiDi connection to big screen I think)
I really wonder how well Windows/Wine/x86 Linux applications and games would run on these devices.

the sgx 540 in that phone is about twice as fast as the 530 in our phone which is FINE

Most of (probably all) Intel chips are actually de-branded PowerVR chips, fyi. I think there was a few Nvidia (mobile) gpu's which were also PowerVR's and just re-labeled.
I can assure you, if you know which chip is really in which build, you can find the PowerVR drivers. Though I'm not sure they would be compatible as is, probably needs some re-writing, but yeah its there.
I'm flattered
