Apple's decision to rely on Google's cloud infrastructure is notable because Nvidia produces the most sought-after AI processors.
Apple relied on chips designed by Google rather than industry leader Nvidia to build two key components of its artificial intelligence software infrastructure for its forthcoming suite of AI tools and features, an Apple research paper published on Monday showed.Apple's decision to rely on Google's cloud infrastructure is notable because Nvidia produces the most sought-after AI processors.
Including the chips made by Google, Amazon.com and other cloud computing companies, Nvidia commands roughly 80% of the market.
In the research paper, Apple did not explicitly say that it used no Nvidia chips, but its description of the hardware and software infrastructure of its AI tools and features lacked any mention of Nvidia hardware.
