Google Partners with MediaTek for Next-Gen AI Chips

Google is collaborating with MediaTek to develop new AI chips, aiming to reduce reliance on Nvidia, according to Reuters.

Google is collaborating with MediaTek to develop the next generation of its AI chips, known as Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), set for production next year. This partnership, reports Reuters, is part of a broader industry trend where tech giants are moving to reduce their dependence on Nvidia's GPUs.

Despite this new collaboration, Google will continue its relationship with Broadcom, the chip designer it has worked with for several years. MediaTek was chosen for its strong ties with chip manufacturing giant TSMC and its competitive pricing compared to Broadcom.

Google's investment in TPUs is significant, with expenditures estimated between $6 billion and $9 billion last year. This move aligns with Google's strategy to gain more control over its AI hardware, cut costs, and reduce reliance on external suppliers like Nvidia.
