No. The cost of the AMD CPU itself might be low, but I imagine there is an engineering cost to switch CPU vendors. And for laptops, Intel CPUs provide better battery life which seems to be a higher priority than pure performance.
Given Apple's preference to have control over their CPUs, they might end up replacing Intel CPUs with an in house SoC at some point.
