Google partners with Marvell to develop specialized AI chips as alternative to Nvidia's dominant GPUs

Google is in talks with Marvell Technology to create two new AI-focused chips, according to The Information

One chip is a memory processing unit designed to work alongside Google's tensor processing unit (TPU)

The second chip is a new TPU specifically optimized for running AI models more efficiently

Google aims to establish TPUs as a competitive alternative to Nvidia's GPUs, which currently dominate the market

TPU sales have become a major revenue driver for Google Cloud, helping demonstrate returns on the company's AI investments
