Inside Google’s chip lab, where it makes custom silicon to train Gemini and Apple AI models

[Daniel Nenni]

Google was the first cloud provider to make its own custom AI chips, called TPUs, when they first came out in 2015 - a trend both Amazon and Microsoft followed years later. Now, Apple has revealed it uses TPUs to train its AI models, positioning Google chips as an alternative to Nvidia’s market-leading GPUs. CNBC got an exclusive look inside the lab where Google makes its chips, where its top executive showcased TPU Version 6, and its new Arm-based CPU, Axion, both coming out later in 2024.
