Google unveiled a new version of its data center artificial intelligence chips, called TPU v5p, and announced an Arm-based central processor named Axion, which offers superior performance to x86 chips. The company plans to offer Axion via Google Cloud and aims to power services such as YouTube Ads in Google Cloud "soon." The TPU v5p chip is built to run in pods of 8,960 chips and can achieve twice the raw performance as the prior generation of TPUs. This move positions Google to compete with other cloud operators and provides developers with an alternative to Nvidia's AI chips.

Google Cloud announces its first custom-built Arm processor, Axion, based on Arm’s Neoverse 2 designs, claiming 30% better performance than competitors' Arm-based instances and up to 50% better performance and 60% better energy efficiency than comparable X86-based instances. However, Google did not provide documentation to support these claims or details on availability, pricing, or technical data. The company emphasized that Axion is built on an open foundation, allowing customers to bring existing Arm workloads to Google Cloud without modifications, and plans to release technical documentation later this year.
