A Apple has plans to strengthen generative artificial intelligence capabilities on its devices through an alleged update to Neural Engine in future chips “A18” e “M4”according to revealed by sources to Economic Daily News.

With more cores, this “new” Neural Engine should be integrated into the next iPhones and Macs, improving performance in AI tasks, such as Siri e no Apple Musicin the next updates — scheduled to be announced in June.

This (possible) novelty follows the statements of Tim Cook, CEO of Maçã, regarding the company’s focus on technology. According to the executive, more information regarding the company’s plans should be released later this year.

Still according to the EDNthe “A18” chip — which should power the “iPhones 16” — should bring significant improvements, including possible exclusive generative AI features, just as Samsung did with the Galaxy S24 line.

In addition, there is also expectation for future Macs with the “M4” chip, scheduled for the end of this year or beginning of 2025. It is worth remembering that the M3 chips were introduced less than six months ago, so this update is not expected to arrive soon.

The Neural Engine was first introduced on the A11 Bionic chip in 2017 and aims to speed up computing tasks. machine learning (ML) and AI, without the need to send data to the cloud.

Over the years, Apple increased the number of cores and processing capacity of the Neural Engine. For example, in the A15 Bionic chip, it has 16 cores capable of performing 15.8 trillion operations per second.
