Apple is developing a new server chip that aims to support capabilities powered by artificial intelligence (AI) in partnership with semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom. The company previously announced that it will uninstall processing on some of the Apple Intelligence features from cloud to cloud, but has not yet tailored it for AI applications using its own processor. Apple also rolls out support for other Apple Intelligence features on iOS, iPados, and Mac computers, including integration with Siri’s ChatGpt.
Apple reportedly developed a “Baltra” server for AI processing
The information, citing three people familiar with the company’s plans, reported that Apple is developing server chips for AI applications. iPhone Maker has produced its own processor for its device, which offers some functional AI capabilities, and a new internal chip can be used to perform AI processing on Apple’s servers.
According to the publication, Apple’s new server chip is codenamed Baltra, and the companies are said to be processing network technology used by processors that will be used to perform AI tasks users require on the cloud.
The company’s latest iOS 18.2, iPados 18.2 and Macos 15.2 updates (released on Wednesday) have introduced new Apple smart smart features such as Genmoji and Image Playground, as well as ChatGPT integrations that require access to the Internet.
The report notes that the chip design may be completed within a year, but it is not clear whether the chip design will be used to power the company’s existing AI capabilities through Apple’s private cloud computing (PCC) cloud-based AI processing system. Features have been announced earlier this year.
With PCC, the company says it can power Apple Intelligence features that rely on larger server-based models (currently running on Apple Silicon chips) that cannot perform AI tasks that are too complex to perform devices. deal with. Apple said earlier this year that it will not store user data on PCC servers other than processing requests, and that users will be able to verify company privacy claims.
