That usually involves advertising, but Apple has turned down those offers. Not even an "Intel inside" sticker.

Apple's relationship with Intel is pretty rocky now. Intel fumbled the i9, their Xeon chips aren't keeping up with AMD's workstation offerings, and their efforts to build a cellular modem chip utterly failed, leaving Apple at the mercy of Qualcomm for that part.

I'm sure Apple will cut loose on Intel as soon as they can. They're probably tired of the bullshit.

The financial incentives can cover other chip lines. Apple sells a ton of laptop CPUs and has some preferred partner status with Intel.
