According to a report from The Information, Apple plans to use Google’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for artificial intelligence tasks in its devices starting in 2024. This move suggests that Apple has decided against using chips from Nvidia, a leading provider of AI chips. The report indicates that Apple has been testing Google’s TPUs for several years and has found them to be more efficient and powerful than Nvidia’s offerings for certain AI workloads. This decision could be a significant blow to Nvidia, as Apple is a major player in the consumer electronics market. However, it remains unclear which specific Apple products will feature Google’s TPUs or the extent to which they will be used. The report also raises questions about Apple’s long-term strategy for AI hardware and its relationship with Google, a major competitor in various technology domains.
