OpenAI might use Apple’s TSMC for chips – Computerworld
That’s great for Mac, iPad, and iPhone users — who doesn’t want more powerful devices that use less energy? But for server-based services handling millions of requests daily, that power difference affects both environmental performance and operational costs in terms of energy bills. With that in mind, OpenAI doesn’t need to be looking to become a hardware competitor to unlock…
