Apple may or may not switch Macs over from Intel to AMD, but it should<article>

<p>Over a year ago, I argued that
Apple should replace Intel with AMD in its Mac lineup. Today, the choice seems even clearer. From low-power laptops to the big iron in the Mac Pro, Apple would be well-served to consider AMD alternatives to Intel CPUs.</p><h2>The Mac Pro: Threadripper </h2>
<p>The Mac Pro is a big, expensive, high-power system made for heavy multithreaded workloads. So Apple equips it with Intel Xeon workstation processors, from the 8-core, 16-thread W-3223 to the 28-core, 56-thread W-3275M. The cheapest, slowest model retails for $750 and has a thermal design power of 160 watts, and that scales up to almost $7,500 and 205 watts on the high end.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3532902/why-apple-should-switch-macs-over-from-intel-to-amd.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
