Intel's Core M processors are extremely power efficient processors that currently power several tablets and laptops. Apple's latest fan-less Macbook, for example, utilizes a Core M processor, as that line is one of the most powerful chips that can still deliver fantastic battery life.
Normally we don't see desktop/laptop make their way into smartphones, but according to Intel's General Manager, Kirk Skagen, the company is currently testing the chips in smartphones. There's no definite timeline for when we can expect to see Core M processors in a flagship phone, we'll see some big performance improvements when it happens.
