In a private statement last month, Apple’s senior hardware technology executive expressed interest in using generative artificial intelligence to help expedite the design of the unique semiconductors at the core of its devices.
Speaking in Belgium while accepting an award from Imec, an independent semiconductor research and development organization that collaborates closely with the majority of the largest chipmakers worldwide, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technology, Johny Srouji, made the comments.
Srouji described Apple’s evolution of bespoke chips, from the original A4 chip in an iPhone in 2010 to the latest chips that power Mac desktop computers and the Vision Pro headset, in the lecture, a recording of which was examined by Reuters.
