New servers will power Apple’s growing network of US data centers

Apple has begun shipping artificial intelligence servers from its new Houston factory months earlier than anticipated, marking a major step in the company’s growing push into large-scale computing.

The move places Apple closer to the high-performance AI infrastructure space traditionally dominated by companies such as Nvidia.

Apple Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan said in a statement, "Our teams have done an incredible job accelerating work to get the new Houston factory up and running ahead of schedule, and we plan to continue expanding the facility to increase production next year."
