Google has been trying to catch up to Amazon Web Services for the cloud services business, and if the new report is to be believed, then the search engine giant has made significant progress.
As per the report from The Information, Google has made progress in the development of data center chips which means that the company could start using its own chips in the year 2025.
It is said that Google’s team of server chip design is currently working on the development of two ARM-based 5nm server chips. One of them, named Maple, is based on the existing design from Marvell Technology and is under trial production from TSMC. The other chip, named Cypress, is designed in-house by a team based in Israel.
Now, it is being reported that the company could start mass production of these chips in the second half of 2024, and the deployment of these new chips in the data centers could start in 2025. Do note that these are speculated timeline and has not been confirmed by the company.
Google has been chasing a bigger rival in the server rental business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which launched its own custom server chips four years ago. The custom-made chips are optimized to consume less power and deliver higher speeds than the traditional server processors, which also results in significant savings.
