Apple is now using artificial intelligence to design the very chips powering its devices, marking a major shift in its approach to hardware innovation. Johny Srouji, Apple’s SVP of Hardware Technologies, revealed that AI is being integrated into the company’s semiconductor design process, leveraging advanced Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools from platforms like Synopsys and Cadence.
Traditionally, chip design is a time-intensive, highly complex process involving years of meticulous planning. By infusing AI into this pipeline, Apple aims to accelerate development, reduce errors, and predict performance metrics early in the design phase. This move allows Apple to build more efficient,
