Intel definitely will. They need a phone with an Intel cpu if they want to compete in the years to come.

MeeGo kills three birds with one stone for Intel:
a) gives them a mobile OS that is tied to a specific Intel chipset;
b) allows binary compatibility between netbook, tablet and phone apps (a killer feature for Intel if they're serious about breaking into the mobile business)
c) open source gives them a path for painless future upgrades to the OS and hardware, without losing their chipset lock-in advantages.
