I didn't explicitly say this, but that's sort of what I find strange about this. Knowing the lead time that goes into CPUs, chipsets, etc. and then seeing this bit of news... it looks like Intel majorly tooled Marvell. So you have to wonder if Marvell was aware of these plans when they spent a couple bucks buying the ARM line.
