Apple Weighs First Server Since Xserve, With Nvidia Possibly Key, TechRadar Reports
TechRadar: Apple is weighing its first server since the Xserve, with Nvidia possibly key. No specs or timing disclosed.
The report as published gave no specifications, no timeline and no indication of whether such a machine would be sold to customers or deployed only inside Apple's own infrastructure. It also did not describe the technology Nvidia would supply, stating only that the graphics chip maker may be central to whatever Apple decides to build.
The reference to the Xserve frames the move as Apple's first return to server hardware since that rack-mounted line. The report ties Nvidia to the plan without setting out how the two companies would work together or what stage any discussions have reached.
No statement from Apple or Nvidia accompanied the report, which is the single source for the claim about the server project.
