Google Explores Partnership with Marvell to Develop Custom AI Inference Chips
Google is currently in discussions with Marvell Technology to create two new AI chips, including a memory processing unit and an inference-optimized Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). This move adds Marvell as a third design partner alongside Broadcom and MediaTek in Google's custom silicon supply chain. The negotiations follow Broadcom's recent long-term agreement with Google for TPU design and supply through 2031. Google's strategy appears to focus on diversifying its chip design partnerships rather than replacing existing ones. The newly designed chips are expected to enhance Google's capacity for inference, which has become a significant cost factor as the custom ASIC market is projected to grow substantially in the coming years.
