AMD right now has a core 100% focused on low power devices with amazing performance, very likely ahead of Apple. So no, your premise is not accurate.

Why is it very likely ahead of Apple? Apple has been doing the dedicated low power core approach for a while.

Because AMD has a 4 core low power processor with multiple times the memory bandwidth and multiple times the I/O and greater performance per core at the same power draw as Apple's 2 core processor with about a tenth of the I/O and a third the memory bandwidth.
