Intel Corp (INTC)

ARM thrives in nascent markets where no one in sure there how
big the market really is and what features are really needed and
which are useless costs. OEMs can try different things with ARM
based SoCs and see what sticks. But if a new market is real
enough, big enough, well defined enough, and where compute
performance is a important differentiator then look out for Intel.

Oh, I think the smart phone market has definitely gotten Intel's attention, don't you? Especially, that it represents the new computing paradigm which is switching from computing as we knew it to social interaction. I wouldn't call even that portion of the market nascent at this point. Maybe emerging. I would guess there are almost more per year ARM smart phone/tablet chips than total x86 notebook/tablet chips...
