Intel has known for a while that it has to take the lead in designing and marketing (the Ultrabook is an excellent example) if they are to stay relevant. I'd say Microsoft is in a similar position.

I wouldn't want Intel to think I am to be dependant. The Surface RT line makes a statement. A weak one but it is nonetheless a statement.

Even still, they relied on nVidia to design their SoC. I don't see any rumblings of Microsoft starting up a silicon design shop.
