Apple Partners With Broadcom To Develop First Ai Server Chips, Launch Set For 2026

Apple is teaming up with semiconductor developer Broadcom to launch its first server chips dedicated to artificial intelligence.It follows Apple’s release on Wednesday of its latest updates to iOS, macOS, and other devices featuring new Apple Intelligence capabilities. Apple and Broadcom did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comments.Apple is collaborating with Broadcom on the chip’s networking features, according to a report by The Information on Wednesday, citing sources with “direct knowledge of the project.” Code-named Baltra, the AI-focused chip is expected to enter production in 2026.Experts suggest that Apple’s collaboration with Broadcom aims to bring the server needs for its growing Apple Intelligence initiatives closer to home.“Those capabilities can actually be processed on the phone, the iPad, the Mac, independently, but in some cases, they need to go to the cloud, things like writing tools, things like summarizing text, in some cases, summarizing articles,” Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman told Bloomberg TV. “And for that, you need your own server infrastructure.”Founded in 1991, San Jose-based Broadcom develops semiconductor and software technologies. Its products are used in data centers, networking, and wireless communication, supporting various modern tech applications.This new collaboration is the latest in a partnership between Apple and Broadcom that began in 2023 with a multi-year deal for the chip manufacturer to develop 5G radio frequency components for Apple products.The new AI chip aims to meet the significant computing demands of Apple’s enhanced AI features while improving performance and energy efficiency. Apple’s Israel-based silicon design team will spearhead the development of the chip.Earlier this month, Apple acknowledged that its current AI-related computer chips are made through partnerships with Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services to support its search and Apple Intelligence programs.Others working with Apple to develop the new AI chip include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which will be responsible for mass-producing the chip.Apple’s AAPL stock rose briefly on Wednesday following the announcement of the partnership with Broadcom to $250 before falling to $247. Meanwhile, Broadcom’s AVGO stock rose 7.5% to $184.73 before slipping to $182.98 in after-hours trading.Edited by Sebastian SinclairGenerally Intelligent NewsletterA weekly AI journey narrated by Gen, a generative AI model

Quali Sono I Piani Di Bytedance E Broadcom Nello Sviluppo Di Chip Avanzati Di Ai

Il proprietario di TikTok ha avviato una collaborazione con il produttore statunitense di semiconduttori per progredire nel campo dell'intelligenza artificialeByteDance ha avviato una collaborazione con il progettista di chip statunitense, Broadcom, per sviluppare un processore di AI avanzato che garantirebbe allo stesso proprietario di TikTok una fornitura di chip di fascia alta. Sinora non sono erano state annunciate collaborazioni per lo sviluppo di chip tra aziende cinesi e statunitensi in questo tipo di tecnologia avanzata da quando Washington ha introdotto maggiori controlli sulle esportazioni di chip all’avanguardia, mentre gli accordi tra USA e Cina nel settore riguardano, generalmente, tecnologie molto meno sofisticate.Leggi anche: Rocco Tanica alle prese con l’AI. «Ho scritto un libro con l’intelligenza artificiale: mi ha travolto». Il nuovo chip di Bytedance. Il chip da 5 nanometri sviluppato da Broadcom sarebbe conforme alle restrizioni sulle esportazioni statunitensi e il lavoro di produzione sarebbe affidato in outsourcing alla TSMC di Taiwan, secondo quanto si apprende da Reuters. L’accordo tra ByteDance e Broadcom, partner commerciale del proprietario di TikTok dal 2022, aiuterebbe a ridurre i costi di approvvigionamento e garantirebbe una fornitura stabile di chip di fascia alta, secondo quanto hanno affermato fonti vicine a Reuters
