Rumor: Apple plans to move laptops from Intel to ARM processors

Obviously Intel could start fabbing ARM parts, but with the x86 they had only 2 competitors, and with ARM they are competing with every single chip foundry out there. Of course Intel has a whole lot of IP that they could use to intimidate other ARM manufacturers, so it should be interesting.

I was wondering if Intel could scale the atom down faster than ARM could scale up, and it looks very unlikely at this point, especially since Apple and Microsoft have every reason to want to commoditize the CPU market.
