I doubt Intel will pursue...
this business is just too low cost / low margin. The selling prices listed in the article are:
FL-family products at 1, 2, 4 and 16Mb densities are priced at $0.55, $0.65, $0.85 and $1.45 each in quantities of 10,000.
so the expensive part is $1.45!
Typically any product that sells for less $2 is not attractive to Intel. It costs so much to do assembly, and test that there is not much left for silicon anyway. I suspect it is less than $0.10/unit of silicon regardless of what technology is used.

of course you realize that intel's chipsets have used serial flash interfaces for several years now...
