Apple is making strides in the realm of artificial intelligence with the development of its new server chip named “Baltra.” The project, spearheaded by a team in Israel, is aimed at meeting the increased computational needs of AI applications, with mass production slated for 2026. In a shift of focus, Apple has halted work on a high-performance Mac chip to allocate resources towards the Baltra project. Teaming up with Broadcom and leveraging TSMC’s N3P technology, Apple is gearing up to enhance its AI capabilities and compete more robustly in the AI landscape. This move underscores Apple’s commitment to integrating AI more extensively into its product ecosystem, setting the stage for a more formidable presence in the industry.
