en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google is reportedly in talks with Samsung Electronics to have the latter help produce some components of its next-generation AI processor, which may involve Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology.

Google plans to have its long-term partner TSMC manufacture the main computing components of its tensor processing unit (TPU), codenamed "Icefish," while Samsung may produce a component that helps the chip connect to memory. Google is also collaborating with chip design company MediaTek on the overall design. "Icefish" is still in the research and development phase and may enter mass production as early as 2028. Winning this deal would significantly boost Samsung's business in the foundry sector, helping it secure more high-end chip manufacturing orders.

Samsung's equivalent 2nm process can pack more transistors into smaller chips, thereby improving performance, energy efficiency, and AI capabilities. Additionally, Samsung is considering setting up a second factory in Texas to further expand production capacity. These reports are the latest sign that Google is seeking to reduce its reliance on TSMC, which is currently struggling to keep up with surging AI demand and could become a bottleneck for the entire industry.
