Chrome OS Will Strengthen ARM’s Assault in the Netbook Market

Ultimately, it's about cost to manufacture. The difference in power of the 2 chips will shift with each innovation, but the costs to produce for Intel will stay lower as it has the massive economics of scale and a research operation that spends its time quite productively.

ARM Processors Will Gain 55% of Netbook Market by 2012

if one thinks that intel won't further integrate its chipset to bring down power consumption, one really doesn't know history.

Intel may have been caught a bit short in fully appreciating the netbook, but one can safely assume that with its massive r&d, it should be able to out-engineer any rival in the chip world.
