Does anyone remember the chip start-up P.A. Semi? This company made its rounds around the internet in 2005, when it lifted the veil of secrecy on a new, highly efficient PowerPC processor it had been working on. 2005 Being the year that Apple announced its switch to Intel, people started to doubt Apple's reasons. A few months later, in May 2006, it became known that Apple had been working with P.A. Semi right before Apple made the switch. P.A. Semi released their chip a year later, and now the company has been bought by... Apple.

"it might be an alternative to x86-processors for laptops, settop-boxes, tablets etc."
And in my opinion... BINGO!
What with the recent landrush to Eeepc type mini-laptops, I can see the apple version being released soon. This sounds like just the processor to run them.
