It appears that Apple and AMD have successfully eliminated all Intel components from their laptops.
Intel isn’t limited to chipsets and processors. Intel also makes a variety of controllers, such as USB retimers. Apple previously used Intel retimers to make its MacBooks. The same applies to AMD processor-based laptops.
