Alphabet's effort to build custom chips for AI data centers represents one of the few viable alternatives to Nvidia's top-of-the-line processors that dominate the market. Together with the software that is closely tied to Google's tensor processing units , the chips have allowed the company to take a significant share of the market.
The sixth-generation Trillium chip will achieve 4.7 times better computing performance compared with the TPU v5e, according to Google, a chip designed to power the tech that generates text and other media from large models. The Trillium processor is 67 per cent more energy efficient than the v5e.Google's engineers achieved additional performance gains by increasing the amount of high-bandwidth memory capacity and overall bandwidth.
