Apple wants to catch up in artificial intelligence and is apparently investing heavily in new hardware. Despite public statements about using its own Apple Silicon technology for AI servers, new information reveals that Apple is apparently ordering Nvidia servers on a large scale. The amount is considerable, the timing surprising, and the impact not entirely without controversy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple has emphasized for years the importance of data protection and control over its own infrastructure. With Apple Silicon, it created its own chip line, differentiating itself from Intel and other manufacturers. Apple wanted to focus on its own solutions, especially for AI services. Now it's emerged: The company is also using Nvidia hardware\u2014and not just a little. This raises questions, especially regarding Apple's position on data security and its own technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple officially opted for Apple Silicon<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In April 2024, it was initially reported that Apple would use its own chips \u2013 Apple Silicon \u2013 for AI servers. By June, it was assumed that entire data centers would be powered by them. In September, Craig Federighi, Apple's chief software officer, officially confirmed this strategy. Apple Intelligence, Apple's new AI system, runs on Apple Silicon. This infrastructure is crucial for ensuring user data remains protected. Only with its own hardware and a specially developed operating system can it be ensured that requests are processed securely. Federighi explained that server requests are only permitted if the signature of the software on the server has been published in a transparency protocol. This is a central component of Apple's trust model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless: Apple orders Nvidia servers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Despite these clear statements, new information now suggests otherwise. According to analyst Ananda Baruah of Loop Capital, Apple is currently investing around $1 billion in Nvidia systems. Specifically, this involves the purchase of approximately 250 Nvidia NVL72 servers. The price per server is between $3.7 million and $4 million. The NVL72 servers are specifically designed for generative AI and so-called large language models. According to Nvidia, each of these servers contains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
