I read the press release twice and it doesn't really say much. I'm a digital physical design engineer. What it probably means is that ARM will port their standard cells and memory compiler to Intel's process. The other IP like the ARM CPU's are delivered as Verilog RTL and a customer can synthesize them to standard cells using any foundry's standard cell library. When I worked at ARM they would work with any foundry even those that made competing IP. If my fabless semiconductor company decided to use Intel as our fab then we would still be using ARM CPUs in our chips. We aren't going to use Intel though based on Intel's prior history over the last 20 years of saying they will be a fab to external customers and then backing away and cancelling those plans. Based on talking to former coworkers most of the people talking to Intel as a fab are using it to negotiate lower prices with TSMC or Samsung.
