Google has updated AI chips and a new Arm-based CPU ready for the continued AI boom. Google Cloud customers will get access to the new Arm servers later this year.
Google is making its own custom Arm-based CPU to support its AI work in data centers and introducing a more powerful version of its Tensor Processing Units AI chips. Google’s new Arm-based CPU, dubbed Axion, will be used to support Google’s AI workloads before it rolls out to business customers of Google Cloud “later this year.” The Axion chips are already powering YouTube ads, the Google Earth Engine, and other Google services.
“TPU v5p is a next-generation accelerator that is purpose-built to train some of the largest and most demanding generative AI models,” says Lohmeyer. A single TPU v5p pod contains 8,960 chips, which is more than double the amount of chips found on the TPU v4 pod. Google’s announcement of an Arm-based CPU comes months after Microsoft revealed its own custom silicon chips designed for its cloud infrastructure.
