"Apple is a customer across several areas of business," said an Intel spokesperson, "and we will continue to support them."

"Intel remains focused on delivering the most advanced PC experiences and a wide range of technology choices that redefine computing," continued the statement. "We believe Intel-powered PCs— like those based on our forthcoming Tiger Lake mobile platform— provide global customers the best experience in the areas they value most, as well as the most open platform for developers, both today and into the future."

大意就是：

苹果是我们多个商务领域中的客户，我们会继续支持他们。英特尔仍然专注于提供先进的PC体验和一系列宽泛的、能够重新定义计算的新技术。我们认为由Intel驱动的PC——比如那些基于我们即将到来的Tiger Lake移动平台的（PC）——能够为全球的客户在他们最为重视的领域中提供非常好的的体验，同样也可以为开发者们提供一个最为开放的平台，不管是今天还是未来。

其实整条产品线的平台迁移并不容易，库克也表示需要2年左右的时间（上次从PowerPC架构迁移到英特尔也花费了2年多），未来仍有一些基于英特尔处理器的新品Mac在路上。
