If apple ever switches CPU supplier for their macbooks, it'll probably be for their own.

  I guess they could buy AMD. Not that it would make any sense. :-)

    I think AMD will lose its x86 license then. https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/amd-x86-license-agreement-with-intel-cannot-block-our-merger-or-acquisition/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilo...

      The way I read it, Intel would lose it too. Neither Intel nor Apple could afford losing it for even one day. It would thoroughly damage their brand.

    I wonder how feasible it would be to remove the internal instruction set translation, thus making it not an x86 CPU, and doing translation in software.
