No, a few engineers 2 years ago are not going to change basic architectural concepts that apple has clearly Cavour that run pretty contrary to intels design concepts. Also designing a cpu takes time: a chip that is released in year X was likely functionally locked at least a year ago, and general architecture would necessarily predate that by a few years. No CPU manufacturer is designing a cpu for year X, and then starting work on the following years chip. They will be simultaneously designing chips for sequential years, years in advance of release dates. That’s why Intel and AMD can produce their “next years chip” talks. The chip isn’t ready for final production, but there won’t be any significant changes by that point. There’s also a 8-12 week latency on manufacture, so if they are targeting a release date, they have to have started manufacturing 3 months before then in order to have any chips to sell.
