As title, will Apple switch to AMD Ryzen? They could produce better performing lower power imacs,.... As imacs are aimed at mainly content creation, this would be an amazing move. Also Apple could maximise its profits on using cheaper processors.
They use amd graphics now so what you think?
I was going to switch to apple until ryzen came along, so have continued with a new PC.
The only reason I can think not is Intels typical dirty contract tricks, I'd imagine they have Apple locked in contractually.
In the long run I think Apple will build its own processors given how good Its mobile chips are... But mean while zen2?
It would defo be better to have a fast 4ghz thread ripper in imac pro than a slow clocked 16 core xeon as well!
What does everyone think?
