Apple May Return to Server Market With Nvidia Technology

Apple is reportedly considering a return to the server market with an AI server built around its "M8" series chips, potentially targeting a 2029 release. The company has discussed integrating Nvidia networking hardware, such as NVLink Fusion, to link its M8 processors. This system would be sold to external customers for running AI models, focusing on inference and response generation, marking Apple's potential re-entry into a business it exited in 2011 with the discontinuation of Xserve.

This report is the first to detail Apple's potential return to the server market with an AI-focused offering, unlike previous speculation about its internal data center needs.
