Apple turns to NVIDIA as M2 Ultra chip fails to meet advanced AI demands

Odaily reported that Apple is shifting its reliance to NVIDIA GPUs to support its artificial intelligence operations, as the company's self-developed M2 Ultra chip has failed to meet expectations when running advanced AI workloads.

Sources indicate that Apple previously attempted to use its own servers to run Google's Gemini model to power AI capabilities for the new Siri. However, the performance of its chips fell short of requirements, ultimately forcing the company to turn to NVIDIA GPUs deployed on Google Cloud. Additionally, the development of Apple's next-generation AI server chip, "Baltra," has been delayed, while the M7 Ultra chip, which is expected to rival the performance of NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, is unlikely to be launched before 2029 at the earliest.
