AMD is small though. I have no data to back up my gut but anecdotally I feel like they don't have the manufacturing capacity to keep up with Apple's demands right now.

AMD is the provider of APUs/CPUs and Graphics of both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

AMD represents about 2/9 in Windows and 3/10 in Linux of processors using Steam month-by-month and raising; In this same survey Windows represents 95% and MacOS 4% of computers.https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/processormfg/

I think they can manage the production to provide for all Apple CPU needs.

The chips are going to be manufactured by TSMC whether they're AMD or Apple chips.

And the game consoles show that AMD can put together a secure, x86 chip at high volumes at leading nodes.
