"Just goes to show how much clout Apple has with Intel."
I doubt it has anything to do with "clout", more like some good 'ole capitolism. Apple wants X, Intel says it will cost Y, Apple figures out they can charge Z for it. They go back and forth and agree on a price and it gets done. Intel makes $$$, you know the Apple marketing machine will cash in. Everybody is happy until the battery explodes. :-)
