EP-63 How does Apple Neural Engine uses AI

from Tech Stories · host Amit Bhatt

In the previous episode, I talked about Artificial Intelligence development and how companies like Microsoft and Google are using it  Today I am talking about the biggest company APPLE , How they introduce the Apple neural engine for AI  History and Evolution of   ANE  In 2017, Apple deployed its very first ANE in the form of two specialized cores within the iPhone X's A11 chip. By today's standards, it was relatively slow, at just 600 billion operations per second. The second-generation ANE appeared inside the A12 chip in 2018, sporting four times the cores. Rated at five trillion operations per second, this ANE was almost nine times faster and used one-tenth of the power of its predecessor. 2019's A13 chip had the same eight-core ANE but ran one-fifth faster while using 15% less power, a product of TSMC's enhanced 7nm semiconductor node. TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) fabricates Apple-designed chips. The first Mac-bound M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max chips had the same ANE as the A14, bringing advanced, hardware-accelerated ML and AI to the macOS platform for the first time. In 2022, the M1 Ultra combined two M1 Max chips in a single package using Apple's custom interconnect dubbed UltraFusion. With twice the ANE cores (32), the M1 Ultra doubled ANE performance to 22 trillion operations per second. The Apple A16 in 2022 was fabricated using TSMC's enhanced N4 node, bringing about 8% faster ANE performance (17 trillion operations per second) versus the A15's ANE. The first ANE-enabled iPads were the fifth-generation iPad mini (2019), the third-generation iPad Air (2019), and the eighth-generation iPad (2020). All iPads released since have an ANE. What is ANE?
