iPhone to use Intel proce or

Here's a real quickie factoid about the upcoming A le iPhone. It will use an Intel CPU. A Reuters article from this morning states that Intel will su ly the iPhone's CPU. This was confirmed by an A le Germany okesman, "The proce or is from Intel." If a bit of googling serves, current iPods run off Portal Players (5G video), SigmaTel (shuffle), and ARM (2G Nano) chi .

Of course, the real question that the most geeky among us will be asking is, "Can it run Linux"?. I su ect that the world will have to wait a while before that pre ing question gets a wered.

Thanks Scotto.

Update: Loyal TUAW reader Moto points us to this correction. Looks like it's the A leTV not the iPhone getting the Intel chip.
