Intel has already lost its role as chip provider with Apple. As a fab, if it outperforms TSMC as the parent suggests, it could provide manufacturing for Apple's designs.
Of course, we'll have to see if Intel keeps up after finally clearing its 10nm hurdle.
The M series isn't as great as it seemed. It had an initial advantage of a smaller node, and benefits from everything being on-die. It's huge, so it relies more on the chip tech getting smaller than traditional CPU solutions.
