Apple Intelligence Coming to iPhone 15 Pro Thanks to a Combination of Chip and RAM

MADRID, June 20 (Portaltic/EP) –

Apple Intelligence features They won’t reach all Apple devices because not all of them are internally ready to give the boost needed to execute large language models, although they will reach the iPhone 15 thanks to its chip and RAM.

Apple Intelligence, Apple’s artificial intelligence system, which will be integrated with iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia To reach iPhone, iPad and Mac, take a differentiated approach that combines generative AI with each user’s personal context to offer a meaningful experience.

While it is expected to appear in the tech firm’s next devices, it will also appear in some already sold models, as is the case with iPhone 15 Pro series, but not the iPhone 15.

It’s because combination of processor and RAM which use the most advanced iPhones, given the computational requirements required for large language models, as conveyed by company executives after WWDC and now reported by MacRumors.

In particular, A17 Pro chip It has a neural engine or neural processor with 16 cores capable of 35 billion operations per second. And all compatible devices must have minimum 8 GB RAM.

“This is the hardware it requires. It’s quite an unusual thing to run models of this power on the iPhone,” said head of software development Craig Federighi.

“These models, when you run them at runtime, are called inference, and inference from large language models is incredibly computationally expensive“Said John Giannandrea, head of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This manager also explained that “it’s a combination of the device’s bandwidth, the size of Apple’s neural engine, and the device’s drive that allows these models to be sped up enough to be useful.”
