While it's not direct competition against AMD and Intel per say, I am sure they are keeping an eye on it none the less since if it does perform well compared to x86 solutions, it could lead to something even though I have my doubts. If it flops, maybe Apple will come back.

Of course the main reason is that unlike intel's desktop cpus where they can overclock to 5ghz all day long if you have the right cooling and power supply, laptops need to be a lot more manageable as most gaming laptops have a hard time sustaining 4ghz under heavy workloads. This is essentially AMD's dream scenario! Now all the companies need to do is put these AMD cpus on their premium laptops. It's dumb how the XPS, premium gaming and Surface Book line does not have these yet but I am sure they will starting next year as there have been rumours of the Surface line getting Ryzen cpus.
