What AP are Servo Arms?

I find this particularly interesting as they are not described as a power weapon attack. They are described in the Imperial Guard Codex as a S8 attack, striking at initiative 1, which ignores armour saves...

Boneswords have similar wording. They're not AP anything. They just ignore armor saves.

they are Powerfist attacks. They have always been powerfist attacks, so treat them as such.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

they are Powerfist attacks. They have always been powerfist attacks, so treat them as such.They were in 4th ed., but in 5th ed. 'dexes they are "Initiative 1 and Strength 8, ignoring Armour Saves." The difference is important - it means that Techpriests and Servitors get S8 Servo-arms, even though they only have S3 base.

From Dakka Dakka, from the iPad Space Marine Codex:

"Pg 71 - Techmarine Servo-arm: grants the model a single extra CC attack, made separately with the following profile: S8, AP1, melee, unwieldy."

... but no update or clarification for the Guard Codex yet...
