Nvidia and Apple Rekindle Partnership for AI-Powered Projects

Nvidia and Apple have put aside their long-standing differences to collaborate on AI-powered projects.

Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC), a cloud infrastructure for its Apple Intelligence features, will now use Nvidia's AI accelerators, specifically its GPUs with Confidential Computing technology.

This marks a significant shift from 2015 when Apple transitioned away from Nvidia GPUs due to reliability issues and disagreements over product design and licensing. The partnership also underscores the growing importance of cloud infrastructure in the tech industry.

Nvidia's Confidential Computing provides a hardware-based security layer for AI workloads, protecting data during processing by isolating tasks in trusted execution environments.
