I think Apple does those things because something like the physical design is so much more important to Apple, they're willing to pay Intel extra $$ to get a processor with a completely different packaging.
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that previously. Again Apple more concerned about the actual device, it has to be a specific size, usability paramount, so performance per watt is more important than sticking to Intel.

That's a good point. I've often wondered how much the focus on these Apple-specific components is geared towards performance vs spatial requirements.
