Does anyone have more info on this? Has Apple done anything other than GPUs with Nvidia in the past?

Nvidia and Qualcomm reportedly have already reached agreements with TSMC for capacity support from its next-generation manufacturing processes, and with orders from Intel, Apple and AMD, the Taiwanese foundry house is expected to enjoy growth from 2021...

That's not what the article says. It's saying that TSMC will be busy with orders from Apple, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. TSMC makes chips for many different companies.

Anything's possible, but this article does not indicate that's what is happening. Don't hold your breath. I would really like to see continued support for AMD and Intel discrete GPUs at the very least though. I don't care how good AS GPUs are, we need choice.

As chrfr already stated, TSMC is an enormous foundry. They're the biggest independent pure-play fab in the world and build the silicon for a ton of clients (Nvidia and Apple among them).

Apple will never return to Nvidia GPUs. That would run directly opposite to their future product roadmap.

Nvidia made an agreement with TSMC, not Apple. This has nothing to do with Apple besides Apple also being a TSMC customer.

This would be like if Nvidia and Apple both bought LCD panels from LG. Just means they share a vendor, not that they're working together.
