Lol, took you awhile to realize that

Sure, then it will be Intel, ATI-AMD, Nvidia, Nokia and Microsoft which is enough to dominate the market.
Dominate what market?

But if I'm to look at the cash X86 swallowed vs ARM I believe Atoms performance should not be as questionable as it is right now.

I wonder if RISC (ARM), was developed on so hard as Amd and Intel developed X86, could compete in the high end high performance segment (PCs, servers)
I don't think Intel/AMD can outrace ARM (in the race-to-idle) anytime soon, so if Apple buys them out, then they'll be collecting (or increasing) the taxes while getting a bit of privy information of their competitor's potential devices roadmap.

It's not all about cash. Look at what Microsoft has been doing with all their money lately.
