DETAILED EXPLANATION
Apple's canceled self-driving car effort, known as Project Titan, consumed more than a decade of work and over 10 billion dollars before being scrapped, but the neural processing work it produced became the foundation for Apple's AI chips. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is now preparing an M7 Ultra chip capable of supporting 1,536 gigabytes of unified memory for its first dedicated server hardware, expected around 2028.
Apple is also pulling forward its M7 lineup and skipping higher end M6 chips to bring major AI processing gains to customers sooner.
