Arrr mateys, Apple be thinkin' 'bout makin' their own AI chips! What be next for ye Mac scallywags?
2024-04-25
Yarr, the scallywag Leaker be spoutin' tales of Apple's fancy AI improvements, but mark me words, it be no use for the M4 chip! Avast ye, me hearties, methinks this be no treasure worth seekin' on the digital seas! Arrr!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, there be new leaks from the mysterious land of China, claimin' that Apple be settin' sail on a new adventure to develop its own dedicated AI chips in the near future - but not the fabled M4 chip that be on everyone's lips. Aye, Apple be makin' waves in the AI world with its upgraded Neural Engine, found in the powerful M3 chip, but these leaks be talkin' about special server AI processors for the cloud.Apple be takin' a two-pronged approach to AI, investin' in cloud AI technology and on-device machine learnin', with the promise of the M4 chip bringin' Macs up to speed in this new world of 'AI PCs'. But what does this mean for us, the consumers?The scuttlebutt suggests that Apple be workin' with TSMC to develop the AI chip on a new 3nm process, but production won't start till 2025 at the earliest. The new M4 products won't be affected by this decision, as Apple aims to compete with Intel and Qualcomm in the realm of AI PCs.Apple's foray into cloud-based AI could mean better AI services for everyday users of iPhones, iPads, and Macs, combin' powerful servers with on-device capabilities. As AI becomes more prevalent in our devices and software, the need for competitive hardware grows, makin' Apple's leap into AI servers a savvy move for the future.
