AMD having one good generation doesn’t mean anything when Apple signs multi-year deals. They aren’t HP/Dell/Lenovo who will just contract Foxconn to make a bunch of different boards with standard chipsets to satisfy consumer demand, instead focusing on a tightly integrated platform that they won’t throw away willy-nilly.
If AMD can keep it up this time (or Intel keeps flopping) then it may very well happen down the road. Until then, the age old investor relations statement rings true: “past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
Note: I have a Ryzen 5 1600 in my gaming rig and a Ryzen 5 2600 in the wife’s, I love these chips - but I also see the reality of Apple’s ecosystem is all.
