It might not be about CPUs (Score 1)

Intel makes more CPUs, and Apple makes a lot of devices other than Macintoshes. This could have something to do Intel's wireless chip sets, or possibly chips to decode H.264 video. I think a device similar to the Airport Express that offered H.264 video decompression for use with home theater set ups is a much likelier candidate for an Apple product based on Intel chips than an Intel Mac.
