Apple's iPhone uses Intel Marvell CPU

IT WAS CLOSE, but in the end, Apple is not using Intel CPUs in its recently announced iPhone.

Apple would be using Intel processors if it wasn't for one small thing - mighty Chipzilla sold its XScale business to Marvell Technologies.

A chief of Chipzilla Italy told Italian business magazine Il Sole 24 Ore that Apple still shares a link with Intel, since it's using Intel-developed XScale chips. However, iPhone still comes with Intel's flash memory - the same one that is being built into iPod Nanos. µ
