I think this talk about intel is crap. They wanted PA Semiconductor because Dan Dobberpuhl and his team are incredibly brilliant at design and because he has a strong interest in techniques to lower power. You can read an interview with Dobberpuhl where his interest in low power comes through here: http://www.acmqueue.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=75 http://www.acmqueue.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=show... He's all about low power. Making iPhones that have processors that work great but low power in an essential step to the coming revolution, and will further distance iPhone from it's competitors. Therefore, acquisition. Pressure on Intel is not what this is about. This is much more visionary than that and has to do with continuing to push what is possible with iPhone as far as it can go.
