The chip is expected to arrive in 2028, with performance targets said to be close to Nvidia’s Blackwell-class accelerators. The report says the design would use a unified memory architecture, which can remove data-transfer bottlenecks between the CPU and GPU and make the chip suitable for local inference of large language models. If Apple’s silicon becomes competitive with Nvidia in AI workloads, it could give decentralized computing networks another hardware option and affect equipment choices in crypto mining and on-chain inference markets.1340
