In a heavily paywalled article, The Information reports that Apple is partnering with Broadcom to develop a new AI chip specifically designed for server use. Apple currently runs Apple Intelligence through its M-series chips on its servers through a system known as Private Cloud Compute. The distinction, according to the report, is that the new chip expected as soon as 2026, will be Apple’s first server chip specifically designed for AI tasks.
The Information cites “one of the people” in saying that Broadcom is Apple’s partner for developing its server chip for artificial intelligence. The chip, The Information says, carries the code name Baltra.
