Apple, Amazon, and Google are investing in building their own processors like M-series chips, Graviton processors, and Tensor chips respectively.
These companies are moving away from traditional chipmakers such as Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm to focus on custom silicon for strategic reasons.
Custom chips, like Tensor chips in Google Pixel phones, are highly specialized for tasks like machine learning, live translation, and real-time transcription, giving these companies an edge in the AI field.
By developing their own processors, these companies can optimize performance, enhance security by incorporating it into the hardware, and gain control over how sensitive data is handled.
