Definitely 2016 is going to be a good year for AMD, Sunnyvale's have gained a new partner to use their new GPUs and it is not just any partner. After being rumored a few months ago, it is now confirmed that Apple will use AMD hardware in its 2016 computers.
Apple will use AMD Polaris in its new equipment
The benefits of the Polaris architecture manufactured in 14 nm have convinced the almighty Apple to bet on AMD hardware in the new equipment that it will launch on the market this year 2016. With this we will have a new MacBook Pro equipment powered by an AMD Polaris GPU. inside. Most likely it is a Polaris 11 chip with high energy efficiency, which will allow Apple to manufacture a very thin laptop with excellent performance.
The new iMac will also bet on an AMD Polaris GPU just like the Mac Pro. In these cases it could be a Polaris 10 chip with a much higher performance than what we would find in the MacBook Pro and its very efficient Polaris 11. Of course, desktops have a greater capacity for cooling, so it would not be a problem using a much more powerful chip.
There is no doubt that this is excellent news for an AMD that gains a very important partner with a high volume of sales. The big loser in this deal is Nvidia, which will see a good number of $$ escape. Can anyone imagine a new Apple team with Zen?
