TapTechNews May 23 - The analysis agency TechInsights recently released a research report stating that Google has become the third-largest data center processor supplier by revenue in 2023, only next to NVIDIA and Intel.
Unlike traditional processor suppliers such as NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD, Google does not sell chips to the outside world but uses the TPU series of processors for internal workloads and cloud service instances.
James Sanders, a senior analyst at TechInsights, told foreign media CRN that it is a quite remarkable achievement for Google to surpass AMD as a non-external supplier and successfully rank third on this list.
The research report shows that Google shipped approximately 2 million TPU chips last year, making it the second-largest supplier in the data center accelerator market by quantity, only next to NVIDIA with 3.8 million shipped.
The value of 2 million is also far more than the total shipments of other data center accelerator suppliers (TapTechNews note: such as Amazon, Intel, AMD, etc.) - 500,000.
Considering that Google Cloud Services will soon deploy the Axion CPU based on the Arm Neoverse V2 architecture later this year, Google is expected to surpass Intel and become the world's second-largest data center processor supplier in the near future.
