That's not really the pejorative that you think it is. Intel crushed the Unix workstations with volume - it was more economically efficient to make a workstation version of a desktop chip than to design one from scratch that wasn't supported by the desktop's volume. Well, Apple is doing to Intel what Intel did to HP, Sun, IBM, DEC, and SGI: using their phone (and watch, etc.) volume to compete with Intel. Perhaps Intel (and AMD) will stave them off. But if history is any guide, they'll be paddling upstream to do so.
