Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud::iPhone maker wants to catch up to its rivals when it comes to AI.
They’re making their own silicone now. You can achieve a lot more efficiency when you’re streamlined the whole way through.
It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.
Silicon is for computer chips, silicone is for boobies.
By making their own, you mean telling Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company “hey we are going to buy enough of these units that you have to give us the specs we chose at a better price than the competitors, and since we chose the specs off your manufacturing capacity sheets we will say “engineered in Cupertino TM” “
Btw I’m not shitting on Apple here. I love my m2 processor.
Sure, but being that pedantic is neither concise or pertinent to the question at hand.
Apple is neither making nor engineering silicon for any of their produce.
