With just hours remaining until Apple’s “Let Loose” event, where the company is expected to unveil new iPad models and accessories, a report has emerged claiming that the company has developed a special artificial intelligence chip for servers. Particularly, the investments made by Apple in artificial intelligence indicate that the company is working on its own AI. Now, developing a special chip with artificial intelligence support for data centers shows Apple’s meticulous efforts in this area. Here are the details…
Apple is working on its own artificial intelligence chip for servers
While Apple is expected to touch on a few artificial intelligence features during the Let Loose event today, the company is expected to announce its main AI-based features at WWDC 2024, which will take place in June. According to emerging reports, the tech giant is now working on artificial intelligence chips for data centers.
It’s claimed by several reliable sources that Apple is working on its own chip designed to run artificial intelligence software on data center servers. This move is speculated to be made for the advancement of AI and to establish Apple’s position in the industry.
The reason for these claims seems to be the revelation that the company is using both the M2 Ultra and M4 chipsets to power servers equipped with new artificial intelligence-based features to be announced with iOS 18.
Especially with the company expected to unveil iOS 18 at the WWDC 2024 event in June, there’s a possibility that Apple, having been somewhat late and struggling to keep up in the field of artificial intelligence, will introduce a highly advanced artificial intelligence system. However, it’s also possible that Apple may have reached an agreement with third parties like OpenAI and Google for AI technologies.
