Does Intel have a license to manufacture ARM processors?

Does Intel have a license to manufacture ARM processors?
My understanding is that XScale (arm) was developed by Intel and sold in 2006 to Marvell.
The Wiki states that after that, the license for the production of workstations remained with Intel.
The ARM website has a public list of licensees for modern cortex processor cores. Intel is absent from this list naturally.
Now Intel is releasing atom x3 processors, for budget devices, which integrate Mali graphics, which is only found (as far as I know) in ARM SoCs. Why does Intel use AWP graphics in their chips? and why doesn't it produce ARM SoC itself?

Mali is a licensed video core. It is not necessary to buy a license for a percentage in order to use it visibly.
And XScale was bought by Intel from DEC. And then resold.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale
At the end of the article it is stated that Intel still has a license for the ARM core

Intel still holds an ARM license even after the sale of XScale
