Ted - Re: "Isn't that a bit of an overkill? Combining 'the intelligence' of a cpu with flash in order to run wireless applications....."

Absolutely NOT !

Cell phones now contain INDIVIDUAL DSP and CPU controllers, Flash memory circuits and analog RF units.

Integration of these functions produces enormous cost reductions - and Intel has the designs and technology to do the integration.

Look for Intel to expand its role as a component supplier to the cell phone/wireless market segment.

And think of this - when nearly all cell phones contain integrated logic/flash memory components, where will that leave AMD's flash business ?
