Apple is reportedly developing an enterprise AI server that will utilize its own M8 Ultra chips, according to The Information. The server is expected to include two or four M8 Ultra chips aimed at the AI inference market, with release anticipated no earlier than 2029.
The Information also notes that Apple is exploring the use of Nvidia's NVLink Fusion technology to interconnect these chips, potentially enhancing performance for demanding AI workloads. Meanwhile, major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are already purchasing Mac hardware in bulk to support their AI operations.
This move signals Apple's deeper commitment to AI infrastructure, a market currently dominated by Nvidia and others. For Japanese investors and businesses, Apple's entry into AI servers could influence hardware demand and cloud service strategies, especially as Japan’s technology sector increasingly integrates AI-driven solutions.
