I believe the intention is to use their own M-Series CPUs - to get what they call "Private Cloud Compute". The cpu on your phone will encrypt data and a request, send it over the network to am M-series CPU which will decrypt and process/send back an encrypted response. The idea being there's no VMware, kernel or piece of hardware that can have backdoors built into unless someone files off the top of the chip and somehow probes the silicon > Apple said that it, together with Foxconn Technology Group, will later this year begin producing the servers that power the cloud component of Apple Intelligence — a system called Private Cloud Compute — in Houston. That marks a relocation, at least for some production, from overseas. Next year, it says a 250,000-square-foot facility for such manufacturing will open in the city. > The Private Cloud Compute servers use advanced M-series chips already found in the company’s Mac computers. Those chips themselves, however, continue to be produced in Taiwan.
