Google expands AI chip lineup with specialised versions as Nvidia rivalry intensifies

Summary

Google is rolling out specialised versions of its AI chips, escalating its rivalry with Nvidia and marking an acceleration in product development for its chip unit, according to The Straits Times. The Japan Times reports that this year's introduction of two new tensor processing units marks that acceleration. Investing.com's headline frames the expansion alongside a separate problem for Nvidia, a CEO spy scandal, but its summary is empty, so the details of that scandal are not available here. The reports are headlines and short summaries only, so chip names, specifications and timing beyond this year are not included.
