Google currently uses Broadcom Inc. to produce its TPU chips and while MediaTek may start producing the next generation of chips, it’s noted that Google hasn’t cut ties with Broadcom, at least for the time being.

Google may switch TPU partners from Broadcom to MediaTek for cost optimization. MediaTek might handle I/O modules in partnership, with Google focusing on more in-house TPU design. Changing partners could reduce Google's Broadcom dependency in the AI market.

Alphabet's Google is preparing to partner with Taiwan's MediaTek on the next version of its AI chips, Tensor Processing Units, that will be made next year, the Information reported on Monday, citing people involved in the project.

A primary focus of these chipsets is efficiency. This is important because many IoT device have to remain plugged in, so it’s important that they sip power. Also, you’ll want to make sure that battery-powered devices last as long as possible.

Google plans to work with a new firm to help design and produce some of its artificial intelligence chips: MediaTek. Google is preparingto team up with the Taiwanese firm on the next version of the chips,

Google LLC is reportedly preparing to collaborate with Taiwanese semiconductor company MediaTek on the next version of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs),

Google has decided to collaborate with Taiwan’s MediaTek to develop its future-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), a significant shift in the AI chip strategy of the tech giant. The new TPUs will be rolled out next year, The Information reports.

These chips also known as Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), would be produced sometime next year, sources close to the project told the publication. It is important to note that Goo
