CNL was destined for the 2018 Macbook Air, but failed to deliver, due to ~zero GPU yield.
AML was plan B, i.e. stick with the working 14 nm process. Apple wasn't happy. Nor was Intel.
The CNL parts were picked up by Lenovo, for the IdeaPad 330.
The 2020 Macbook Air refresh got CNL's successor, ICL. But by then Apple had changed course.
