(Reuters) -Apple is working with Broadcom to develop its first server chip specially designed for artificial intelligence processing, the Information reported on Wednesday, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The reported move would align the iPhone maker with other big technology companies that have developed their own chips to power compute-heavy AI services and reduce reliance on Nvidia's pricey and short-in-supply processors.

To make the chip, the company is planning to use one of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's most advanced manufacturing processes, known as N3P, the report said.

Apple had said at its annual developer conference in June that it plans to use its own server chips to help power AI features on its devices.

The company has had success in recent years in developing in-house chips for its devices, including the M-series of processors that replaced Intel chips in its Mac laptops.
