Intel was already forced to a joint venture and share technology (Atoms for time being) with Rockchip/Spreadtrum. It was either that or facing huge fines for price dumping (Qualcomm had similar troubles and paid >1B in fines). Of course officially its just a cost cutting measure and pure Intel win, they dont have to sell below cost and gain tablet SoC maker as a client, but you have to wonder. btw this year Intel switched to selling radio modules below cost, so you can expect china forcing them to another deal in a year or two.
