Apple is developing an artificial intelligence processor! So why?

Although Apple has achieved artificial intelligence with iOS 18, it is obviously seeking to develop its own artificial intelligence system. In this sense, it was revealed that Apple was working with Broadcom for the artificial intelligence processor Baltra. Apple, which wants to build an artificial intelligence server, wants to use its own processors instead of Nvidia processors in this server. However, with this new plan, the new high-performance M processor developed for Mac was also shelved.

Did Apple cancel M5 for AI processor Baltra?

It was previously revealed that Apple would use M4 processors in artificial intelligence servers. It is not known whether this ongoing plan with TMSC is still active. However, Apple is seeking to launch its artificial intelligence server processor called Baltra in 2026. In this sense, there is also the possibility of the artificial intelligence server being built on the Baltra processor.

So why is Apple looking to build an AI server? Although the partnership with ChatGPT is important for now, the company wants to have its own servers. This may enable it to establish an artificial intelligence system that runs on a smartphone and receives support from the server in the future.

In the first plan, M4 processors and then M5 processors would be included in these servers. However, it is obvious that the company is taking things more seriously with the Baltra processor developed for artificial intelligence. This may be the first step for Apple to establish its own artificial intelligence language and artificial intelligence service.

Although the partnership with OpenAI is important, Apple may have security concerns here. Again, Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft have already started to divide the artificial intelligence cake. For the first time, Apple prefers to follow rather than lead in a technology race.

In this sense, this artificial intelligence processor step by Apple may mean that it will establish its own artificial intelligence ecosystem. In fact, Apple has been trying to develop its own artificial intelligence language for about a year. It is unknown whether this effort is related to this plan.

Again, according to the leaks, the project for a high-performance M chip, which would be formed by combining four M chips, was shelved. It is unknown which member of the M5 family this chip is.

However, it is obvious that Apple does not want to waste M processors by using them in servers. So, what do you think Apple plans to do with its artificial intelligence processor Baltra? Do you think the technology giant should have its own artificial intelligence language? We welcome your comments and opinions.
