Apple is pushing its Apple Intelligence platform forward with the Baltra AI chip, set for a 2026 release. Partnering with Broadcom and leveraging TSMC’s 3nm process, Apple aims to enhance servers, improve cloud-based functionality, and streamline handling of complex large language model demands.
Broadcom's Baltra AI Chip to Boost Apple Intelligence Servers by 2026
An article from The Information (via AppleInsider), discusses the new AI chip. This chip has the potential to enhance the capabilities of Apple Intelligence servers by incorporating more cloud-based functions.
Apple Intelligence servers will have to deal with an ever-increasing demand for queries, and the Cupertino firm is training its Large Language Models on Amazon's bespoke processors. The next artificial intelligence chip from Broadcom, codenamed "Baltra," is expected to be released in 2026 and is likely to play a role in this.
TSMC’s Advanced Process Powers Apple's Baltra AI Chip
It has been reported that Baltra will utilize TSMC's 3nm 'N3P' technology, which is also anticipated to be utilized in the mass production of the A19 and A19 Pro for the iPhone 17 series of products in the following year.
The chip itself may have several chiplets, each optimized for a particular task. In the future, Apple may integrate all of these chiplets into one device, with Broadcom's assistance perhaps facilitating the communication between the several processors operating in tandem within Apple Intelligence servers.
Chiplet Design Could Solve Manufacturing Challenges
In order to keep the entire design under wraps, even from its partners like Broadcom, Apple may investigate chiplet designs. This may be done to cut down on manufacturing problems and costs.
Regarding the actual servers, WCCFTECH had previously reported that Foxconn had been given the responsibility of producing them. Also, it was previously stated that Apple's assembling partner will receive some support from Lenovo and its subsidiary when it comes to the design of the servers.
