Apple should license the M1 core architecture to someone to make server chips with it. They'd make some extra money and lose nothing... in fact they might gain since it would build market share around the architecture.
- sgt101 5y agoSo obvious, and yet apple is worth $3tr...
- klelatti 5y agoIf the massive bandwidth shared CPU / GPU memory approach is optimum on the desktop for many workloads then one would think that there would be a sizeable market for that in the cloud - after all many desktop workloads (video editing) for example are moving to the cloud. Can’t see it being Apple but feels like an opportunity for someone.
- Symmetry 5y agoBecause Apple wasn't interested in doing that some engineers left to found their own company doing Apple style cores for serves. It was called Nuvia. It was eventually bought by Qualcomm who decided to try to use those cores in Mobile despite the actual designs not being suited for that. I feel like I shouldn't just spill Charlie's scoop on exactly why[1] but it doesn't look good.

- ksec 5y agoMy suggestion it to watch the investor day meeting along with Ananadtech reporting on the issue. As usual not sure what Charlies is on about. >who decided to try to use those cores in Mobile despite the actual designs not being suited for that. I Not sure where that idea came from. It was designed with similar wattage in mind as current A15.
