Google is in talks with Marvell Technology to develop two new chips for running AI models, according to The Information. One is a memory processing unit designed to work alongside Google’s existing Tensor Processing Units. The other is a new TPU built specifically for inference, the phase of AI where models serve users rather than learn from data. Marvell would act in a design-services role, similar to MediaTek’s involvement on Google’s latest Ironwood TPU. The discussions have not yet produced a signed contract. The talks came days after Broadcom, Google’s primary custom chip partner, announced a long-term agreement to design and supply TPUs and networking components through 2031.
