One exception: the vast majority of Android games use a portion of native code; which won't run on Intel chipsets without at least a recompile.

All WinPhone apps run on the .NET VM; however it's up to Microsoft what chips get used in Windows Phone devices. So far; the only SoC in Windows Phones has been the Snapdragon. It may be a while before we see other ARM chips used; much less x86. (This is excluding a theory that Win8 may possibly extend to phones as well)
