No, why would Intel move away from Nokia, for a start Nokia is a potential future customer for their mobile Atom chips, so Intel will want to keep Nokia sweet. Regarding Meego, when Nokia and Intel merged Moblin and Maemo to form Meego they handed it over to the Linux Foundation, and other companies (notably AMD) now support Meego, so it is unlikely Intel will take Meego back, if they actually can. And this is on the assumption that Nokia are dropping Meego. I think there is a fair chance that they'll actually accelerate Meego development and add Alien Dalvik to their Meego Devices to increase the number of available apps.
