Consider the infinitesimal benefit of storing config data in flash. Now consider the
cost of adding flash capability to a performance logic process. Intel doesn't even
want the trouble of thick oxide devices for I/Os in its MPU processes. Flash? forget
about it.

BTW, go look at the comments said about integration of flash when Intel disclosed
its recent Xscale telecom MCM-based component with separate dice for logic, flash,
and IIRC, RF.
