Google rolled out its Arm-based AI chip designed for data centers. The new central processing unit (CPU) is homegrown, and through it, the tech company is looking to challenge its rivals in the field, such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
Google's First CPU
Fox Business reported that Google revealed its newest custom artificial intelligence chip, the Google Axiom Processors, on Tuesday, April 9. The company said this semiconductor was created for data center operations.
This is the first central processing unit product that Alphabet's Google subsidiary has ever developed. The chip was made using the semiconductor architecture of British software and tech company Arm Holdings. Google's Axion AI chip will be offered to Google Cloud customers later this year.
Axion Chip in Action
The Axion AI chip is already in use in some Google services, such as YouTube Ads, via the Google Cloud. According to The Wall Street Journal, the firm is developing more of its own chip products as it prepares for new semiconductors that can work in everything—from YouTube ads to large data analysis. Moreover, Google has invested in producing in-house chips to deal with the increasing artificial intelligence costs while competing with its competitors.
"At Google, we constantly push the boundaries of computing, exploring what is possible for grand challenges ranging from information retrieval, global video distribution, and of course generative AI," Amin Vahdat, vice president and general manager of machine learning, systems, and Cloud AI at Google, said in a blog post. "Today we are thrilled to announce the latest incarnation of this work: Google Axion Processors, our first custom Arm-based CPUs designed for the data center."
Arm Holdings' CEO, Rene Haas, further stated, "Google's announcement of the new Axion CPU marks a significant milestone in delivering custom silicon that is optimized for Google's infrastructure and built on our high-performance Arm Neoverse V2 platform."
