Answer» Not true. See here: The thinking is that APPLE would commission a semi-custom processor for use in Apple's Macs -- essentially an Apple-defined product that INCORPORATES a substantial amount of AMD's intellectual property (e.g. processor cores, graphics processors, and so on). Here's why that's highly unlikely. Apple wants complete control https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/04/05/dont-expect-apple-inc-to-use-amd-processors-in-the.aspx Quote On April 2, Bloomberg reported that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) intends to eventually transition its Mac computers away from Intel Don't HOLD your breath. The rumour that Apple may use AMD processors is based on information from data-mining of macOS Catalina 10.15.4 in a Beta RELEASE that was available last wednesday. (Feb 5th). It was found that the new Beta had a number of AMD Processor Codenames as well as codenames for a few other unreleased AMD processor products, which were not present in previous releases. Thus the rumour RELATED to the possible availability of AMD processors, which seems reasonable to me as a likely reason such AMD-related code-names are present in the codebase. The link you provided which you seem to feel debunks the rumour is from April of 2018, And only counters a much weaker rumour from that time frame.
