Apple seems to be avoiding building server hardware for some reason. It seems like a big opportunity, besides AI, the power efficiency of their chips would surely be attractive for datacentres. I think momentum is building for moving away from x86.


They’re building servers now in Houston for their private cloud compute environments, but it’s just for them.


Given how hot my Mac is when I do anything they’d need Pacific Ocean to cool that data center :)


My Apple Sillicon macbooks are the coolest running computers I've had in decades. Something might be wrong with your cooling system.


Most Macs (both Intel and Apple Silicon) refuse to thermal-throttle until they reach the junction temp.

Both you and the parent can be correct, here; many Macs are quite cool at idle, but also throttle much slower than equivalent Intel or AMD chips under load.
