Apple is nearing irrelevance in a surging workstation market. Thermal issues are one problem, market perception is another. In a meeting with a select set of Silicon Valley journalists, three senior Apple executives (SVP of marketing Phil Schiller, VP of software engineering Craig Federighi, and VP of hardware engineering John Ternus) recently explained how they came to a joint epiphany about the need to not only take the Mac Pro in a new direction, but to explain to their loyal customers what they had in mind.

Photonic AI Processors Report
(Buyer will receive $500 coupon, good for 90 days, toward any other JPR AIP report)
Jon Peddie Research’s Photonic AI Processors report is a supply-side report; it covers the seven companies building photonic compute processors.
The Photonic AI Processors report defines photonic AI processors and how they are used. It
outlines the two distinct product categories that exist: photonic compute processors, where
light performs the arithmetic, and photonic interconnects, where light moves data between
conventional chips and replaces copper wires.
The report also contains information about the companies in this segment and their
technology and products.
While the companies covered in the main body of this report focus on classical photonic AI acceleration (matrix multiplication, inference, HPC), a distinct set of players is building photonic quantum computers that use single photons as qubits and linear optical elements to implement quantum gates and entanglement.
