If apple ever switches CPU supplier for their macbooks, it'll probably be for their own.

I guess they could buy AMD. Not that it would make any sense. :-)

I think AMD will lose its x86 license then.

The way I read it, Intel would lose it too. Neither Intel nor Apple could afford losing it for even one day. It would thoroughly damage their brand.
