> ... to the point where Apple flat out refuses to source Nvidia parts.
I've seen this argument made before.
It would be a valid point if Apple stopped using Nvidia GPUs in 2008 (they did), and then never used them again. And yet, 4 years later, they used Nvidia GPUs on the 2012 MacBook Retina 15" on which I'm typing this.
AMD doesn't grossly lie about their thermal specifications like Nvidia consistently does. To the point engineers can't design shit properly.
It's one thing to make mistakes in engineering, that can be smoothed out with cash.
It's another to outright lie and cover up.
