However, Tizen 3.0 Common will also be tested on Intel NUC Haswell (core i5),  Lenovo x230 IvyBridge (core i5) and on the ARM side, ODROID-U3 development board.

More details can be found on Tizen 3.0 Wiki, and questions can be asked on the tizen developers mailing list.

Separately, but still related to Tizen, when Samsung announced the Samung Z Tizen phone, they also mention an upcoming special developer program to boost the number of apps available on the Tizen Store at launch. Tizen Experts reports that developers will keep 100% of revenues from the Tizen Store, including in-apps sales for one year, excluding taxes and carrier billing / banking fees, with no signup fees, nor app submission fees. So if you are an app developer, and already have designed Android, iOS or HTML5 apps, it may be worth the effort to port them to Tizen, and sign up to the Tizen Store.
