    the cost of the engineers, designers and testers are largely irrelevant compared to the cost of the actual silicon foundries these days.

    I would thus speculate that Intel are seeking to gain some sort of political foothold in the huge developing market in India and the region.

    haven't Intel also done some deals to set up design centres in China to also gain political leverage and fast-track approvals for their products there?
