Google Just Went All in on Its Deal With Intel
The search giant is taking this collaboration to new heights.
Overview
One of the key tenets of Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) artificial intelligence (AI) strategy has long been the company's custom-built semiconductors. The Google parent first developed its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) more than a decade ago, and these custom processors were "purpose-built specifically for AI," according to the company, becoming a key part of its strategic advantage.
These application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are "a chip designed for a single, specific purpose," according to Google: providing the computational horsepower for "running the unique matrix and vector-based mathematics that's needed for building and running AI models."
