    learn something new everyday… well apple better tuck that dick and buy these GPUs then it seems, i doubt their own design can compete tbh… .if it did, nvidia would not be running a train on the global GPU market.

      Considering how long Apple has been putting neural cores in all their chips, and the speed at which their in house chips have outpaced competitors (like the M series for example), I feel like not only will Apple beat nvidia at this, Apple will do so by a decent amount.

      That said, nvidia will continue to sell world wide in this market as Apple will keep their chips in only their own hardware, so if you’re not running a Mac/IOS device, you’ll be using nvidia chips.

      Either way, even if Apple just keeps up, competition is still best for everyone, so I welcome this development.

        The m chips are only good for inference and not for training. That is still unparalleled with CUDA. Pun intended.

          That is still unparalleled with CUDA.

          I still don’t understand how an open source alternative with better hardware support hasn’t happened yet.
