I am missing something in the article. From what I am reading, AI companies are so desperate for memory they are buying Apple Systems and other hardware and striping them for RAM and maybe other components.
Is that what others read ?

This unified architecture makes Apple hardware very good for AI work, where latency between RAM and CPU is very important
Even the SSDs (which are normally more strippable) use a proprietary hardware form factor.
I think the article mentioned the real draw:
> Apple noticeably promoted the ability to link multiple Mac Studios together into a single, more capable system for running large frontier AI models, a feature aimed at business and developer customers rather than everyday consumers.
