Apple Silicon copied AMD's mistake. RDNA and Apple Silicon are both the slowest GPU architecture for AI because they spent 6 years optimizing raster performance over compute. Now there's 4 generations of Apple Silicon Macs that rely on compute shaders for any kind of efficient inference. Even the M5 GPU is less programmable than Nvidia's ARM GPUs from 2017.
ARM datacenters were a trillion-dollar market that Apple made ~$0 off of. The Mac Pro could have fit that niche, but Tim Cook chose to depreciate it instead of letting the PCIe connectors be used with Nvidia cards. He cut off Apple's nose to spite Nvidia's face. It's nonsense, especially since they're crawling back to Nvidia to license their interconnect, in tacit recognition that it wasn't a real grudge in the first place. My guess is that Ternus doesn't have Tim's money allergy, maybe at the White House's request. In any case, the grudge is over, and Apple forfeit ARM HPC altogether.
> because I can fix the one thing that’s giving us trouble memory because we have the talent and the money to fix it in the next four years.
By all means, continue. Which X account or YouTube channel convinced you that Apple could replace SK Hynix in 4 years?
