OK, so whatever Samsung has about Alpha wouldn't be of much value to
Samsung's endeavours in the mobile market with the ARM architecture today.

So if Alpha gives Samsung no competetitive advantage today, it makes it
easier for them to sell it off to the Chinese (assuming they are allowed
to, which I doubt they could do without HP's approval)
