Again, Apple should just buy Intel and move on.

Also, there is no freakin' way the Feds would ever approve such a move. As it is, Intel is close to a monopoly when it comes to the consumer desktop computer market, isn't it? Would the DOJ allow Apple to buy Intel and then strangle or cut off the PC market from their #1 CPU vendor?Intel is a huge can of worms. Apple doesn't need that kind of trouble.
Apple's already completely trashed their line of computers, the last thing they need to do is to gimp all of them with a lousy mobile processor.
OS X has been a snoozefest since Snow Leopard with its ridiculous iPadification. Mac Pros haven't received a legitimate upgrade in YEARS for professionals. iMacs got gimped by being limited to one hard drive, no user replaceable ram and no optical drive in a DESKTOP that many professionals still use (iMacs get used frequently in design studios). And the Macbooks... at least they kept the normal line of MacBook Pros with a combo drive, I got mine loaded with two drives (one for OS and the other 1TB for storage and files). They gimp that too and I'll make that the last macbook I buy. The Mac Pro doesn't look like a reasonable purchase either.
Congratulations Apple, you've officially set yourself up for fail.
