The coming out of Ryzen CPU and Radeon Vega GPU is a strong indication that the genuinely competitive AMD is back on the game. Aside from Intel, it seems like NVIDA is also losing its cozy place in Apple's devices because the Cupertino-based giant is reportedly going after the powerful duo of Ryzen and Radeon for 2017 Macs.

AMD Strengthens Relationship with Game Development Community

The Capsaicin and Cream event during the Gamers Developer Conference has marked the rebirth of the playful AMD in the PC and gaming market. The company's toughest rival NVIDIA that is known for owning 75% of the GPU market has been left speechless at its opponent's genuinely creative comeback.

AMD's hosted event has become an avenue and opportunity to strengthen their relationship with the game development community. AMD does not only showcase their new products but also gave an overview to the direction they are taking most especially in gaming where they are partnering with LiquidSky for game streaming service, AnandTech reported.

LiquidSky and AMD are collaborating on an Internet-based game streaming service which will be powered by Vega GPUs. The two are joining the bandwagon of gaming-on-demand services where hardware is being shared virtually to cut the costs such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.

Apple Overlooks NVIDIA for AMD Radeon

Since Intel is reportedly not selling Kaby Lake chip with AMD GPU, Apple is rumored to have change its mind to go for Ryzen CPU with built-in Radeon Vega chips for the 2017 Macs, which basically means ditching both Intel and NVIDIA. According to PC Advisor, the slow performance of the current MacBook Pro which uses Intel chips is reportedly the main reason why the Cupertino-based giant considers Ryzen CPU.

Furthermore, AMD chips have delivered outstanding performance compare to Intel Core i7. Added to that is a report that AMD chips are already patterned after Apple's future Macs; thus, seeing MacBook Pro 2017 model and beyond running Ryzen and Vega should not be a surprise anymore.
