- Report: Apple May Be Testing AMD CPUs On It's Upcoming Gaming Macs
- Apple AMD Gaming Macs
High-end Macs continue to use AMD GPUs, but there’s a possibility Apple might introduce a complete ‘Advanced Gaming rig Mac, this is just speculation no one knows but we strongly believe it will be the rumored Gaming Mac.
A number of AMD APU codenames were spotted in leaked code snippets. From Picasso to Raven, to Renoir and Van Gogh, there’s a possibility that Apple is testing a variety of chips with upcoming Macs. It should be noted that these are APUs, or Accelerated Processing Units, which feature both a CPU and GPU on a single die. For the smaller 13-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, this could prove slightly useful for people that do a bit of graphically intensive work and need a portable notebook as their daily driver.
Apple has used a variety of high-end AMD GPUs in machines like the latest Mac Pro, the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The gaming Mac news is still on our list. The price of the machine will reportedly start from $5000, which isn’t all that much considering the ‘Apple tax’ users have to pay in order to own any of the company’s products.

Also, considering AMD current CPU lineup is cheaper than what Intel offers for better performance, it’s more than possible the upcoming gaming Mac gets treated to an AMD Chip while sold for that $5000 price tag.
