AMD Ryzen has been making another headline aside from its phenomenal launch as the first update is rolled out for "Ashes of The Singularity". The new patch fixes the performance, increasing the Ryzen 7 CPU performance to 30 percent higher.

The disruptive CPU update seems to give an answer to the doubters that Ryzen can really be optimized for gaming, PC World reported. Numerous pieces of report have even considered AMD's latest CPU is beastly enough to power a MacBook Pro or iMac 2017 - but it is not likely.

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is proven to be a monster that set a world record and Architosh has learned that the configuration and architecture are tempting to computer makers - including Apple.

Furthermore, Apple is constantly exploring new possibilities, probably including new partners, to design high-end laptops and desktops. But Apple won't be jumping from Intel X86 to Ryzen easily since the MacBook Pro and iMac 2017 lineups aren't designed with economy in mind, but tools optimization and user experience - hence, it is safe to assume that AMD Ryzen might not suit Apple's roadmap.

Despite the maximum performance, AMD Ryzen is clearly aiming at gaming, not productivity machines. The best guess is that Apple could wait for ARM-based chip for a powerful software emulation layer for the Mac OS.

Another valid reason is the delay in iMac 2017 release which reportedly linked to components supplies and chip manufactures, according to MacRumors. Apple couldn't be waiting for a Ryzen chip when it's already been tried and tested worldwide.

AMD has confirmed its game development program, in which Oxide and Stardock are involved, and Bethesda is reportedly joining soon. That should bring more performance improvements to the future titles - it is indeed a promising CPU for gaming chops but whether or not it is in line with MacBook Pro 2017 or the iMac desktop PC - that remains to be speculative.
