AMD may be gunning for Apple
It seems that AMD is looking to compete withApple’s M3 siliconwith its APU line and become some of thebest processorson the market, especially the AMD Strix Point Halo APU. For instance, the most powerful Strix Point Halo APU is rumored to have 16 cores and an RDNA 3.5 GPU with 40 Compute Units (CUs).
The only thing that might stop the Strix Point Halo APU in its tracks in terms of being competition for the M3 are rumors thatproduction has been pushed back to 2025. But the Strix Point should still be launching in 2024, however, which should still be a major challenge forApple.
