Then again, Apple are all about profit. If they can secure a deal from AMD, particularly one that increases profit, then, maybes aye.
There's a chance Apple is going to ditch x86 entirely. I find it very unlikely they will ever go to AMD for CPUs.

Very nice chip and for gaming it seems a better choice than the 3700x. The big question is how good is the 3600? I think Hilbert already hinted that the 3600 is a little gem but i could be wrong...
But the lack of overclocking headroom is really disappointing for me... Why can“t the chips reach 4.6 or 4.8Ghz...
Great review as always!

That's been rumoured for years. Still hasn't happened yet.

Not that I really keep up with Apple rumors but I haven't heard of anything like that up until about a year ago. The rumors I heard are a transition to ARM, since Apple is already heavily invested in their own ARM-based CPUs for iOS. If Apple just squeezes in some of the more advanced instructions, I'm sure they could reliably drop x86.
I guess the thing to really consider here is if Apple is going to ditch Intel, they're more likely to use their own in-house ARM architecture than go with AMD.
