    Apple Considers First Enterprise AI Server Build Since 2011 Using Nvidia NVLink

    Question

    Apple Considers First Enterprise AI Server Build Since 2011 Using Nvidia NVLink

    Direct answer

    Apple is reportedly reviewing plans to manufacture dedicated enterprise AI servers incorporating internal M8 Ultra application processors paired with Nvidia NVLink Fusion architecture. If approved, the hardware deployment will focus primarily on high-throughput AI inference tasks. The proposed server venture marks Apple's first dedicated enterprise datacenter equipment project since 2011. Partnering on Nvidia's interconnect layer allows Apple to scale proprietary internal inference clusters while providing Nvidia incremental revenue through networking licensing and silicon.
