- Medatek challenges Broadcom in Google’s evolving AI -hardware strategy
- Next GEN TPU aims at better AI treatment and lower cost
- Google diversifies AI chip supply, reducing the dependence on Broadcom
Medatek and Google will collaborate to develop the next gene-sensor treatment units (TPUs), a trait that means Google is likely to reduce its dependence on Broadcom in its AI Tools Hardware Business Strategy.
The purpose of this collaboration is to design an affordable and energy efficient TPU, produced by TSMC and are likely to launch as part of Google’s 7th-Gen TPU series.
While Google will lead the overall design, Medatek will handle input/output modules to facilitate communication between the processor and peripheral devices that mark a shift from Broadcom’s previous role in TPU core development, though Google does not cut tapes with Broadcom completely.
Developing more effective AI processors
Google’s TPUs, designed to require AI calculations and important to educate the best LLMs, will reportedly see improved efficiency and performance when the rising demand for powerful AI treatment.
Google has developed its own AI server chips for internal use and cloud services to reduce the dependence on external providers such as Nvidia, whose dominance in AI-Hardware contrasts with Google’s push for a more self-sufficient ecosystem through TPU investments.
Meanwhile, Mediatek has expanded its presence in AI chip development, including partnerships in AI super computers.
Ine Arly 2025 announced the company an AI Supercomputer Project collaboration with its latest partnership with Google, which adapts its wider strategy to strengthen its position in the AI industry.
If this collaboration is successful, it can affect the development of the best LLM models by making AI treatment more efficient.
