If the A10 really is half as fast as an Intel CPU, wouldn't it make more sense for Apple to put four of these chips in an iMac -- delivering double the performance -- and use the savings to fight Intel's x86 emulation patent in court?

One could hope that, due to the negative PR, Intel would give up trying to prevent Apple from delivering 2x the performance at a lower cost. In any case, I think this patent needs to be challenged thoroughly, as it seems to favor only Intel while punishing consumers.
