    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.
