Apple. src = “/wp-content/uploads/1fe99e5cbfedebe16062c30EFEB943E6.jpg”/> 0 facebook Upon receipt of an industry reward, the leader of the Apple Silicon Johny Sruji said that he wants the AI General to design chips, which was discarded due to the fact that Apple did not use. This, of course, is nonsense. on Thursday, reports on Apple and the intention to use generative AI to develop the chips used in its products. The cost of a performance at IMEC in May, Senior Vice -President of Apple Hardware Technologies Johnny Sruji, commented on the use of machine learning for the design of chips. In the video of the speech seen by Reuters, Sruji explains the design of Apple user chips, returning to A4 and up to modern chips, such as the M4 processor line. Sruoji's comments were perceived to mean that Apple wants to start using artificial intelligence for the first time so that its engineering teams could quickly develop chips. In fact, this is that Apple has already been engaged in some quality for many years. The ITF World Conference in Antwerp, Belgium at the end May. He was awarded an innovative reward from IMEC, the research group in electronics and technologies, for his role in the development of the Apple Technology roadmap. The video was a performance at the Sruji conference and Reuters was characterized as private comments.
Sruji, as they say, covered the main rhythms of Apple development. Apple's key lesson, probably decades ago, was that he needed to use the most advanced tools available for the development of chips. For this, Sruji said that this includes the use of the most modern software for the design of chips provided by Automation (EDA) electronic design firms. “EDA companies are very important to support the difficulties of designing our chips,” said Sruoji. “Generative methods of AI have high potential in obtaining more design work for less time, and this can be a huge increase in performance.” These two comments can be combined together to mean that Apple wants to use generative AI to develop their chips. Reality is somewhat different. Part of the problem with the reporting of Sruoji's comments is the consciousness of how designed and made. Although it is usually understood that Apple is developing chips, which are then produced by foundry interested persons belonging to the TSMC supply partner, the actual design element is still wrapped in a mystery. beyond the advantages of the new designs of chips explained every autumn during the launch of the iPhone, the maps of the chip sections and some vague hardware laboratory landscapes, Apple is not included in the details of how the chip is made inside. as Sruoji's comments show, part of this process includes the software from EDA companies. People are involved, but EDA software is necessary for a large amount of process. Apple chips use people for the main notes, EDA to obtain detailed information-Credit for the image: Apple Engineering teams begin by determining the specifications of the chip, which should be crossed by the architecture scheme that displays elements such as process elements and memory, and how data should pass through the chip. where the EDA software is received, this is the creation of the actual design of the circuit for the chip. This may include the layout of the compounds, as well as testing modeling before performing the physical version. taking into account that the M4 chip has 28 billion transistors made using a 3-nanometer process, a manually mapping of engineers working together for many years and MDash will be required; Well -known endless monkeys on endless keyboards. The use of automation tools means that the software works on the project, and does this repeatedly, if there are any problems or changes requested by engineers. This in itself uses a system of machine learning to design chips. Apple is already using machine learning and MDash; Literally AI & MDash; To design his chips. And it did it for years. However, companies such as Synopsys Synopsys work in such companies to make AI a more driver of chips design. This includes the expansion of what is already being implemented, for example, allowing EDA software to come up with new solutions to reduce energy consumption. Synopsys believes that the use of generative artificial intelligence can help create completely new methods for developing chips, which, as ordinary thinking, will not come up with. a company such as Apple, which is based on such innovations, this would be an improvement that it will be ready to try. Design comment
Modern reality
is less fear, the higher speed
, while the report can enter into continuous fears that take Creative work, and people do not use. Using the EDA software to develop chips, Apple already uses AI as part of its production process.
there will be no significant losses of work or restructuring of hardware lines for the introduction of generative AI. Apple is already in a position that allows you to increase the use of AI in chip designs.
not only because it was better than people, but also if necessary, caused by a pure scale of the task.
The full design of artificial intelligence, of course, is that Apple has already begun to explore and did it for years. The generative conversation of AI is simply open to expand what he already has at his disposal.
