There has been talk of Apple investing big in new AI servers already, and Google recently announced its own plans for new cloud server silicon as well.

Apple already designs the chips that make the iPhone so far, not to mention the transition away from Intel that has helped Apple produce some of its best Macs to date. With that in mind, it makes sense that Apple would turn its hand to server-side components, especially given how important they are likely to be to the future of AI.
