Google and Marvell Technology Collaborate on Next-Gen AI Chips: A Game-Changer in AI Efficiency
Google is reportedly collaborating with Marvell Technology to develop two new chips focused on enhancing the efficiency of AI models, as per sources familiar with the discussions. One of the chips is a memory processing unit intended to complement Google's tensor processing unit (TPU), while the other chip is a new TPU tailored for AI model execution. Google is striving to position its TPUs as a competitive option to Nvidia's GPUs, with TPU sales playing a significant role in driving growth in Google's cloud revenue and demonstrating returns on its AI investments. The companies are working towards finalizing the design of the memory processing unit by next year for test production.
