On July 17, according to The InformationappleSEEKING ACQUISITION OF AI chipENTERPRISES TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THEIR OWN DATA CENTRES TO HANDLE HIGH-INTENSITY AI WORK LOADS AND TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON BRITISH WIDA CHIPS。
Currently, the Apple Data Centre uses the AI mission for self-study M2 Ultra chip processing; the need to run larger models, such as Google Gemini, needs to rely on the British Weeda chip in Google clouds。
According to sources, the next generation of AI server chips, code-named Baltra, for apples, was scheduled to be launched this year, but the project has been postponed for reasons not yet disclosed。
It was mentioned that apples had recently discussed potential transactions with bankers and had been exposed to some semiconductor start-ups to learn about their acquisition。
APPLE IS ALSO ADVANCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AI SERVER CHIP IN OTHER WAYS. IN 2024, APPLE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE COOPERATED WITH CHASE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AI SERVER CHIP, WHICH LAST WEEK STATED IN THE SECURITIES PAPER THAT THE PARTIES WOULD EXTEND LONG-TERM TECHNICAL COOPERATION TO 2031 BUT DID NOT DISCLOSE THE SPECIFIC CONTENT OF THE COOPERATION。
