Server Chips: if you removed the GPU, and added ECC - these would be dang nice server chips.

There is technically no reason Apple could not introduce a cloud computing service based on their silicon at some point. But would it generate the kind of profit margins they need? An interesting space to watch.

More important than profit margins are the return on capital vs. the alternative uses for that capital.

I was having a vision last night of a server rack filled with iPad Pros /w Ethernet through the USB-C. I still wonder what the performance per mm^3 would be in comparison to a traditional server.

AFAIK LPDDR5 already uses ECC internally so you are halfway there.
