I think it would be silly for Intel to build their own OS from scratch; it would be expensive and probably lead to their demise (ala Nokia).

They do hire software engineers to e.g. make Android work on x86 and make Linux servers run well on x86.

Just to add to the discussion, intel has a few chips in Tizen. I don't think it will ever succeed in any signifiant way, but it seems they're at least testing the waters.
