Is no one else interested in the "assemble advanced AI servers, including logic boards produced onsite, which are then used in Apple data centers in the U.S." in the pictures? Are they using nvidia GPUS? Their own silicon? Is there any data out there on what these servers are like? I don't think we've ever seen a picture of them before.

- jsheard 8mo agoIt looks like they're cramming 32 Apple Silicon SOCs into each server - they're on upright daughterboards attached to both sides of the heatsinks. That's a lotta chips.
- trvz 8mo agoIf those are M3 Ultras that’d make 1024 CPU cores per 2U server. 512 with M4 Max is only a little above a dual Epyc with 192 cores each though.
