Google in Talks with Marvell to Develop Two New AI Chips for Improved Efficiency

Google is reportedly in discussions with Marvell Technology to develop two new AI chips aimed at enhancing efficiency in running AI models. One chip is a memory processing unit designed to complement Google's existing Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), while the other is a TPU optimized for AI inference tasks. This collaboration aligns with Google's strategy to reduce reliance on third-party GPUs like Nvidia's and strengthen its AI hardware offerings, which contribute to its cloud revenue growth. The design finalization for the memory processing unit is expected as early as next year, though the reports remain unconfirmed by the companies.
