They've had trouble getting into smartphones, but they've been in 
tablets for a couple years now:

They've had more design wins in phones recently, after dropping 
their prices and power budgets:

They're going to give it a shot, whether they'll ever get much 
market share is an open question.  They make a lot more money 
from their desktop/laptop and server chips, so maybe that's why 
they didn't care about mobile all this time, but as ARM moves 
into the server with their new 64-bit ARMv8 architecture, which 
is even coming to phones nowadays, they should watch out.
