It has been claimed that the A18 and M4 chips that Apple will use for the new generation iPhone and Mac models will come with a Neural Engine with more cores for a more advanced artificial intelligence.
According to the allegations circulating behind the scenes, Apple has announced that it will be used in iPhone 16 and new generation Mac devices. M4 and A18 It is preparing to increase its artificial intelligence capacity noticeably by significantly increasing the number of cores used in chips and neural engines.
Although the A18 processor is expected to appear with the iPhone 16 models in September, it is not available in these smartphones. advanced artificial intelligence We already knew we would see it. CEO of the company speaking at the investor meeting Tim Cookannounced that they were working on a generative artificial intelligence, the details of which we will see later this year. We are expected to see this artificial intelligence at WWDC 2024, which will be held in June.
Tim Cook pointed to artificial intelligence.
Firstly iPhone 8 The Neural Engine we saw in the models had two cores. Since the iPhone 12, 16-core models have been available. Prefer to improve their core performance AppleThis year, it looks like it will make improvements in terms of both performance and numbers.
Some artificial intelligence features are only on iPhone 16 It was said that it could be used. These rumors seem to be compatible with the idea that the number of cores will be increased. First Mac with M4 chip The models are expected to be on the market in late 2024 or early 2025.
