Apple Teams Up with Dell and Super Micro to Boost AI Ambitions with $1B Server Investment
  • On March 25, 2025, Loop Capital announced that Apple is partnering with Super Micro Computer, Inc. and Dell Technologies to venture into the large server cluster generative AI space.

  • This strategic investment by Apple aims to enhance its AI capabilities, potentially improving its voice assistant Siri and other AI-driven services.

  • Apple plans to invest approximately $1.0 billion in GB300NVL72 servers, intending to order around 250 units, each priced between $3.7 million and $4.0 million.

  • These servers are designed to support large language models, which are crucial for generative AI technologies, marking a significant shift for Apple from traditional AI methods.

  • Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group has experienced a 22% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $11.4 billion, largely driven by a 37% rise in the server and networking segment.

  • With a market capitalization of $69.64 billion and recent revenues of $95.57 billion, Dell stands to gain significantly from its partnership with Apple.

  • Analysts project that Dell's AI server revenues could reach at least $15 billion by fiscal year 2026, despite some recent price target reductions from firms like Loop Capital and Mizuho Securities.

  • In its recent fourth-quarter 2025 earnings report, Dell Technologies exceeded EPS expectations at $2.68, although it fell short on revenue with $23.9 billion.

  • The tech industry is closely monitoring how Apple's new focus on generative AI will impact its product offerings and competitive position in the market.
