Artificial Intelligence (AI) has dominated discussions in recent years, prompting businesses to invest significantly in infrastructure to meet rising demand. After a slow start, Apple is reportedly gearing up to commence mass production of its proprietary AI server chip this year.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that this chip is expected to enter mass production in the latter half of 2023, with Apple’s own data centers set to start construction and become operational by 2027.
Apple's M5 chip, introduced last October, powers the Vision Pro (M5, 2025), among other products.According to Kuo, Apple foresees significant growth in on-device AI demand by 2027, which aligns with their production timeline.
While specific technical details of the AI server chip are still under wraps, the prospect of Apple entering the market is promising, particularly given the impressive performance of Apple silicon in devices like the iPhone and other products.
