This is basically Intel announcing that they are ready to compete in the mobile phone/tablet SoC market. The other vendors already had integrated wifi, 3G/LTE, but used ARM processors, locking out Intel.

I think that other vendors are using two chips by putting them inside one package. I don't think anybody else made the cpu and rf sections on the chip yet. also nice is that the rf is made using digital technology which benefits from moore's law.
RF and logic on the same chip is not new. See http://www.fwdconcepts.com/dsp032112.htm .
