Does Google rely on TSMC to build the TPU chips?
- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoMaybe indirectly. I was surprised to learn (just Googled it!) that Google TPU chips are mostly designed by Broadcom, who (being mostly fabless themselves) do in turn use a variety of companies such TSMC, Global Foundaries, etc to make them. Not sure if TPUs use latest cutting edge nodes - if so then presumably it is specifically TSMC. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/to-reduce-ai-costs-google-wants-to-ditch-broadcom-as-its-tpu-server-chip-supplier https://www.theinformation.com/articles/to-reduce-ai-costs-g... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcom_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcom_Corporation
