Apple reportedly building server packed with M-series Ultra chips for AI
Planned 2029 debut could make this Apple’s first enterprise server in decades.
Apple is reportedly developing a server that will incorporate Apple’s high-performance M-series Ultra chips, which are currently found in their Mac desktop computers. The anticipated launch of this product is slated for 2029, marking the first Apple server to enter the market in nearly two decades. This new server could potentially benefit from the rising popularity of Apple hardware among AI developers.
According to The Information, the enterprise server would come in two configurations, each featuring either two or four of Apple’s upcoming M8 Ultra chips. This development reportedly received backing from Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, who was then leading the company’s hardware engineering efforts. This announcement aligns with the surge in sales for Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Studio, as AI developers and businesses are increasingly purchasing Mac computers to handle AI workloads.
The growing appeal of such computing devices that rely on Apple’s M-series Ultra chips has likely spurred Apple’s efforts to create an enterprise server using the same chips.
