Intel's big problem is the fact that they invest so heavily in fabs (which is how they're basically constantly a process ahead of everyone else!) that their costs are so much higher than most other manufacturers — and that's why they charge so much more for their chips than most of the generic ARM SoCs. Yes, some of it is profit margin, but they've been pushing the development so much that much of it is just recouping their massive investments that give them their competitive advantage.
