Wow, this is really surprising. Atom chips were steadily increasing their value from generation to generation and were within spitting distance of ARM in terms of mojo / watt and power consumption. Intel's process advantage should really let them dominate that market.

I wonder if this implies we'll see ARM chips built in Intel fabs?

Probably not the type of chip you meant, but as an example here's an ARM CPU on the Intel 14nm process: https://www.altera.com/products/soc/portfolio/stratix-10-soc...
