...might actually be a good idea for Apple. They're focused
on premium branding. (Selling stuff for high margins.)
Unfortunately, Apple doesn't have any real technology and
their competitors are quite rapidly figuring out how to do a
decent job on packaging and integration.
OTOH, Intel has real technology - with about 1 node lead
relative to the rest of the world and looks likely to keep
it because their competition simply can't afford the cost of
bleeding edge development. Their problem is that processors
are 'good enough' and the world needs fewer premium
processors.
So, Apple scoops up Intel. Within a few years, Intel widens
the process gap and only offers leading edge technology to
Apple. It offers slightly less leading edge technology to
everyone else to keep its competition on life support.
Suddenly Apple equipment is permanently faster than anyone
else's. Oh, and OSX is running servers again.
I imagine that antitrust makes this an impossible deal.
Hopefully. Main problem is that Intel hasn't demonstrated
performance advantages for mobile.
