My thought regarding AI potential re., Amazon, Apple, or whatever and who can get there first in convenience, naturalness, and power is the processing power requirements. Of all the contenders, Apple has the competence to build powerful enough CPUs soonest. So my question: how close is Apple to building a powerful processor to do the AI jumps, loops, and hoops?
