Apple is working with Broadcom to develop its first server chip specially designed for artificial intelligence processing, the Information reported on Wednesday, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter. The reported move would align the iPhone maker with other big technology companies that have developed their own chips to power compute-heavy AI services and reduce reliance on Nvidia’s pricey and short-in-supply processors. Apple’s AI chip is internally code-named Baltra and is expected to be ready for mass production by 2026, the report said. To make the chip, the company is planning to use one of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s most advanced manufacturing processes, known as N3P, the report said. Apple and Broadcom did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. Broadcom shares rose 5% after the news.
