Google places a 3 million chip order with Intel

Google has placed an order with Intel for the production of over 3 million artificial intelligence chips in 2028. This decision comes as TSMC faces increasing pressure due to rising demand for its production capacity. Google intends to utilize the Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) manufactured by Intel following months of testing the company's manufacturing capabilities. Google's TPUs are specifically designed for AI, optimized for training and inference of advanced AI models. Sources indicate that this deal reflects the mounting pressures on TSMC, prompting clients to seek alternatives.
