![]() I could conceivably see them rolling their own custom ML silicon for their own servers, optimized for their applications and providing a performance-per-watt advantage over the competition. They are not interested in selling rackmount devices to stuff into datacenters. They will rather use it to eventually provide broad benefit to their customers and offer differentiation vis-a-vis the competition. My guess is that Apple will not bring their ML technology as a standalone product to market. Machine learning/AI is still very much in its infancy, there is plenty of space for multiple players in multiple segments of the market, from mobile devices all the way to supercomputing. It's a marathon not a sprint and there's no finish line anyhow. The question must be then if Apple intends to take that step too and produce (and possibly sell/lease?) a system similar to the Ascend 910 at some point? They have Mindspore, CANN, Da Vinci Pangu etc and all the hardware to go with it.Īscend starts with Nano (for things like earbuds) and scales up to cluster systems with thousands of cores. ![]() I can see a parallel with Huawei (and others) here when in late 2018 Huawei announced the Ascend line of chips and supporting frameworks and made it open source. ![]() ![]() Somewhat late but better late than never. ![]()
