Apple’s 3 Tier strategy AMD Ryzen as the Highest Pro Tier

[TheRealAlex]

Apple has 3 tiers for many of it products. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13“ aNd Macbook Pro 16”

same with iPhone, and iPad and it’s headphone products and it’s Computer products.

I can see Apple adding in ARM Apple Silicone CPU into MacBook Air, MacMini, MacBook Pros but I also see them Adding a higher tier using AMD Ryzen CPUs In its top level 16” MacBook Pros.

I don't think they will ever consider AMD Ryzen...they will be fully ARM in not too long.

Nope. Apple is going all in on ARM. Yes, even the Mac Pro will go to ARM.

Apple is all in on their ARM chips, they're definitely not going to do AMD CPUs. I think this theory makes much more sense for the GPUs actually. I could see Apple still using AMD GPUs as a top tier option and have the GPU that's part of the ARM CPU be the graphics option for the low and mid tier or something like that.

There is pretty much 0% chance of going AMD CPU’s now, with an ARM transition to be done within 2 years for their whole lineup. It’ll be unnecessary grief for them to optimise for AMD chips now. If they were to move to AMD, it would have had to happen around 2016 when Skylake was causing Apple grief.
