There appears to be a crossed wires situation with the iPhone.
According to Reuters, an Apple Germany representative stated that the iPhone CPU is supplied by Intel, Later in the day Reuters then reported that Intel had denied supplying the cpu for the iPhone.
What the devil could be going on?
Well, one idea that seems to stick is, they're both right, and it uses an Xscale, which was an Intel CPU when the iPhone entered development, but in the meantime that division has been sold to Marvell.
So it has an Intel processor in it, but Intel don't own it anymore, so it's not an Intel processor.
Sadly it's also not an x86, it's ARM, so there's not much hope of getting desktop OS X apps running on it, I can't see Rosetta doing too well on such a piece of hardware :)
Confused? you will be.
