gappyvalley · reddit · 2026-09-16
The Information reports Apple is considering an AI server built around "M8" series chips and has discussed using Nvidia networking hardware, potentially reentering a market it left when Xserve was discontinued in 2011.
- Target customers: companies wanting to run AI models on their own equipment, with a focus on inference.
- One option under consideration is Nvidia's NVLink Fusion to connect M8 processors.
- Potential release could be 2029; neither the Nvidia arrangement nor the server is finalized and it could be canceled.
