Mobile chips is low margin, there is hardly any money in it anyway.

  That's right, but then when did they spent so much on mobile R+D?

    Mobile really means lower power and more integrated functions. Those aspects are becoming more important for all applications.

    Partially because they felt they could gain some advantage by owning the client side of what is powering a lot of their data center chips. Investing in modem tech and trying to get into mobile phones, they could have a completely integrated story from the phone, modem, cell tower (see Axxia acquisition), to the data center. I think they also were hoping the Intel Security story would be compelling from an end-2-end perspective.
