"Google's Axion: The New Arm-based CPU Shaking Up the AI Race"

Google is developing its own custom Arm-based CPU, called Axion, to support AI workloads in data centers and is updating its Tensor Processing Units (TPU) AI chips. The Axion chips are already being used to power various Google services and will be available for Google Cloud customers later this year. This move allows Google to reduce its reliance on partners like Intel and Nvidia, while also competing with them in the custom chip market for AI and cloud workloads.
