Google’s Android development team has released Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.1) for x86 chipsets as part of their promise to open up Android for Intel and AMD systems. The release isn’t fully stable — missing sound, camera, ethernet, and hardware acceleration for Intel chipsets. What will work however is Wi-Fi, sound, and hardware acceleration for AMD chipsets.
Below, you’ll find the instructions for downloading the source code. On the open source page you can also find the .ISO for MSI’s AMD powered Brazos Tablet. Developers, get working!

note that is NOT a google release, but instead, a release by the android-x86 project. Android itself has initial support for x86 itself build in already.
That doesn't look like an official Google release
Definitely a misleading article. This is not an official Google release.
