Leaked Apple Siri Server Features 32 Apple Silicon Chips, No Local SSDs
asymco · x · 2026-08-25
A post reveals the internal architecture of Apple's secret Siri server. Based on standard Apple Silicon with integrated CPU, GPU, and unified RAM, the server packs 32 CPUs distributed across 8 backplanes via 4 riser cards each (potentially hot-swappable). Notably, no SSD storage is visible on the rack; it is speculated that storage is external and shared, as disk performance only impacts startup time once model weights are loaded. The comment suggests Apple could compete with Nvidia by selling such hardware.
