He\u2019s covered the tech industry for over 18 years and knows a thing or two about synths.According to The Information, Apple is planning to get back into the server game and might just pair up with NVIDIA to make it happen. Apple retired its Xserve line in 2011 and has largely left enterprise machines to other manufacturers since. But the growing demand for compute power as the AI industry continues to expand has apparently led the company to believe there is an opening for its powerful but efficient ARM-based M processors.<\/p>\n
Its Mac Mini and Mac Studio have proven popular with AI developers, which has led to shortages.The server product, whether it\u2019s called Xserve or something else, likely won\u2019t debut until 2029. Word is that it will run on two or four (depending on the model) M8 Ultra chips. Apple only just announced the M6 in August, so the M8 line is a ways out.It\u2019s also rumored that Apple\u2019s servers could incorporate Nvidia\u2019s NVLink Fusion tech, which connects multiple chips together so they can operate as one. While the two companies have historically had a frosty relationship behind the scenes, recently Apple turned to Nvidia chips to power its revamped Siri servers.<\/p>\n
Incorporating NVLink could lead to further collaboration between the two, but plans could still change.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Terrence O’BrienAIAppleApple RumorsNewsNvidiaTechMost PopularThe iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s big camera update is all about the small gainsVideoMicrosoft announces Windows and Surface event for October 7thThe Boox Palma 3 gets stylus support and a sleek redesignThe premium AirPods 5 are the best open-ear earbuds Apple has madeWhat if social media isn\u2019t hurting kids?Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
