Intel doesn't have anything to do w/ firewire. That is completely up
to the hardware vendor whether or not to include IEEE 1394.

I have a Dell workstation on my desk, and it has integrated 1394,
front and rear.

What ever does happen to Firewire will be completely independent of
anything involving the move to Intel chips...
