I always thought that Apple in the server or cloud business has a lot of potential. Imagine a data center version of the m1 chip.

- Thaxll 5y agoRight now it's slower than chip that are 2/3x less expensive but use more W. We don't know if their CPU scale with power usage.
- teh_klev 5y agoCloud is not about the underlying hardware (ok maybe some things are) but about services. Even with the M1 Apple are 15 years behind Amazon and Microsoft in terms of building out "cloud" infrastructure. And that's ok. If there was a specific type of service a cloud provider saw that would benefit from the M1 then I'm sure Apple would happily sell it to them.

- throwaway4good 5y agoI was thinking they could make something like the Amazon graviton just with m1 cores instead of arm. And then put into a suitable box for a data center.
