A recent benchmark result indicates that the latest CPU of AMD loosens at gaming but functions well in workstations. This fueled theories that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is designed for MacBook Pro 2017 causing the dismissal of Intel from Apple's empire.

According to Architosh, Intel might have simply lost the performance honor for PCs' microprocessors. The latest AMD Ryzen 7 1800X recently brought a fresh world record score for Cinebench, which is a great CPU performance benchmark.

However, the point isn’t actually about pure performance. It’s the new chip line of AMD Ryzen that provides an impressive function per watt than the i7 of Intel. This is the reason why Apple was attracted to use possibly AMD for its MacBook Pro 2017.

Ultimately, the criterion of Apple's design system for its devices was changed now from being a maximum performer to be more energy saving processor. Some report claimed that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X worked best for video editors.

In fact, Tomshardware commended AMD Ryzen 7 1800X because it can support both professional and scientific workloads. Extremetech also appreciated the exceptional performance of Ryzen in 3D rendering, Seeking Alpha reported.

In the annual shareholder meeting of Apple, CEO Tim Cook announced their plans of providing a totally updated MacBook Pro 2017. This is to correct their mistakes from the current model of the portable hardware. As a result, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is considered the best match for MacBook Pro 2017 since it's able to handle different workstation tasks.

According to PC World, AMD encountered issues in acquiring the Zen's label. This is because, under the United States' Law, the name must be unique and strong. Consequently, AMD tried another option such as horizon, taking off the "ho" and they got "rizon."

However, Corporate VP for Marketing John Taylor said that the name doesn't sound right. The company then finally arrived at the term "Ryzen," with Enso in the logo that means perfection.
