Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 reviewers praise health upgrades

Apple is reportedly developing new AI servers based on its own M8 Ultra processors and is considering using Nvidia's NVLink Fusion technology for interconnects. The machines are expected to arrive in 2029, although the specific details of the partnership have not been confirmed by either company. Apple currently uses its own UltraFusion technology for connecting high-end processors, but lacks a solution for scale-up and scale-out connectivity.

NVLink Fusion, which includes interconnection protocols, switches, chiplets, and a software stack, may provide a suitable solution for Apple's needs. The project was reportedly initiated a year ago and was backed by John Ternus while he headed Apple's hardware engineering organization. While Nvidia originally developed NVLink for scaling up performance of its accelerators, Apple may be looking for a solution that can serve both scale-up and scale-out connectivity needs.

If Apple decides to use NVLink Fusion instead of competing solutions, it could have significant broader market implications beyond Apple using Nvidia hardware.
