Neural Engine is a series of AI accelerators designed for machine learning by Apple. Neural Engine was first introduced with the A11 Bionic system-on-a-chip (SoC), used in the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X from 2017. In 2020, Apple introduced its M1 processor for its Mac computers which also used a Neural Engine. Every A-series and M-series processor since 2017 has included a Neural Engine.
