Sounds like they're trying a new way of competing with ARM. I doubt it'll work.

    Compete with AMD as well. They don't license the designs directly, but the reason they've dominated the last couple generations of consoles is they're willing to do custom work where Intel traditionally was more "take it or leave it"
