Beating everybody to the punch, the company announced yesterday that it is ceasing all development on future chipsets, citing unfair business practices from Intel.

I dunno, I doubt they would. Apple likes standardization, and switching to AMD would entail at least some variation in the availability of those instruction set extensions. Also, if I'm not mistaken, current generation AMD chips run hotter than their Intel counterparts, something that could present a problem for Apple's ever-shrinking form factors.
