Apple Tablet Has No Intel Inside

From TheStreet -

With production time of its Tablet approaching, Apple has been making its final decisions on the components. There has been speculation that Intel's new gen of Atoms was in the running, but Apple has selected a processor developed by P A Semi, a chip shop it acquired two years ago.

With the closely-watched Apple Tablet expected to redefine the mobile computing market, the snub would be significant for Intel. It currently has a lock on the netbook market with its Atom processors and was widely assumed to win the contract as well but might end up in the sidelines with the Apple Tablet's release in March.
