Cerebras’ technology works by using an entire wafer as a chip and power draw is 23kW if I recall correctly. Their technology cannot be scaled down and only works when scaling up. They could not be more useless for Apple’s purposes. Acquiring them would only give them a bunch of chip design engineers that might or might not be able to make a decent NPU that uses DRAM.

That said, Apple has some talented people already and they likely just need to iterate to make their designs better. Bringing new people on board would just slow progress (see the mythical man month).
