Google reportedly plans Frozen v2 chip with Gemini baked into silicon
The Decoder · rss · 2026-07-21
Google is reportedly developing a new server chip, "Frozen v2," that embeds Gemini’s architecture directly into silicon.
- Internal sources say the chip could be 6–10× more efficient than current TPUs.
- It is reportedly targeted for 2028 and aimed at sharply lowering Google’s inference costs.
- If the report is accurate, the chip could strengthen Google’s pricing position against OpenAI and Anthropic by improving unit economics.
