Google Expands AI Chip Business, Boosting Demand for Samsung and SK hynix Memory
Google is expanding its custom AI chip business by offering tensor processing units (TPUs) to external customers, including cloud providers like Oracle. This move could increase demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) from South Korean suppliers Samsung Electronics and SK hynix beyond Nvidia's GPU ecosystem. Google recently introduced two new TPU systems, enhancing performance and security. Industry forecasts predict a significant rise in HBM demand for custom AI chips between 2024 and 2028, presenting growth opportunities for memory manufacturers despite current production constraints.
