How AI CHIPS Work - Neural Engine Explained in 3 Minutes

YouTube Description In 2017, Apple's first Neural Engine could do 600 billion operations per second. Just seven years later, the M4 chip can do 38 trillion. That's not an upgrade; it's a completely different species of technology. So how is that even possible? This video is the technical breakdown. We're not just looking at specs; we're deconstructing the system. We'll explore: The "Von Neumann bottleneck" and why traditional CPUs are a dumb tool for AI. How a Neural Engine works as a hyper-efficient factory for one single operation: matrix multiplication. The insane, near-atomic physics of EUV lithography required to build these chips. The hidden, real-world cost of all this computational power. This is the story of how a physical traffic jam in our old chips forced the invention of a new kind of brain. #AI #NeuralEngine #Tech #Apple
