Windows 8 is designed for tablets foremost. Give it a week before it gets ported to some existing ones.

Microsofts big push for Windows 8 is for it to go mobile as well as work as a workstation. I think that's why the minimum requirments only call for a 1ghz cpu

As everyone else pointed out, Windows 8 will support the ARM architecture, which is the one being used by processors found in tablets and phones. That being said, they're not planning on running Windows 8 on phones, but we will see regular laptops with ARM processors (because of superior battery life) and Microsoft is treating tablets as PCs. It's all part of Microsoft's vision of Windows being everywhere.
