Google's self-developed terminal AI chip

Google revealed that the self-developed processor chip codenamed "Whitechapel" has made significant progress, and it may be applied to the next generation of Google mobile phones and notebooks next year. This will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the competitiveness of Google, and also an important step in the battle for the end market. But does Google's purpose and ambition stop there?

Working with Samsung to create a closed Google ecosystem. According to people familiar with Google ’s self-developed chip project, the “White Church” chip was jointly developed by Google and Samsung. The chip will be built using Samsung's 5nm semiconductor process, equipped with 8 ARM cores. This technology is also used in Exynos chips designed by Samsung. It is worth noting that Google focuses on hardware optimization of the chip so that it can better support Google's AI technology, such as improving the interactive experience of Google Assistant and the ability to maintain activation for a long time.

In recent years, giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and others have entered the independent research and development of chipset solutions, and have invested heavily, a considerable part of which is used to design custom artificial intelligence chips. Can Google finally achieve the complete self-production of the processor? Whether its AI chip ambition can be realized, let us wait and see.
