At Google, we constantly push the boundaries of computing, exploring what is possible for grand challenges ranging from information retrieval, global video distribution, and, of course, generative AI. Doing so requires rethinking systems design in deep collaboration with service developers.
Axion is but the latest in a long line of custom Google silicon. Since 2015 we've released five generations of Tensor Processing Units (TPU); in 2018, we released our first Video Coding Unit (VCU), achieving up to 33x more efficiency for video transcoding; in 2021, we doubled-down on custom compute by investing in 'system on a chip' (SoC) designs, and released the first of three generations of Tensor chips for mobile devices.
