Apple will use data centers stuffed with servers running on Apple M-series chips to handle complex AI tasks.
Apple is planning on having more complex AI tasks for iPhones, iPads, and Macs get sent through the cloud to data centers using servers powered by Apple’s powerful in-house chips. Less complicated AI tasks will be handled directly on-device which will make them faster and more secure. According to a report in Bloomberg written by the news agency’s chief Apple correspondent Mark Gurman, the first chips to be used to power the servers in the data centers will be the M2 Ultra. That chip is currently used to run the Mac Pro and Mac Studio.
The scuttlebutt calls for Apple to eventually develop an M4 Ultra chip to power the servers in the data centers.
