We suppose it was always inevitable, but things are about to get quite interesting at the intersection of cellphone and laptop processors. According to Intel, Apple has apparently committed to using the company’s 45nm Silverthorne chip in multiple products slated for 2008. The chip offers the processing potential of second-generation Pentium M processors, with the capability consumption of a cellphone chip. Of course, it’s not just the processor. Apple is expected to emerge as a major supporter of Intel’s whole “Menlow” Mobile Net Device platform, which packages processor, graphics and connectivity into a small ample bundle to give iPhone-powering Samsung a run for its money in ultra mobile products — and Intel has made it clear that it has its sights set on that very member of Apple’s lineup wit. The best news for dreamers that’ve been holding out for a true Newton successor all that date is that the chips supply plenty of juice for a UMPC-type device should

Apple choose to go down that path.

[Thanks, Mark]
