Google is reportedly building Frozenv2, a Gemini-specific chip that could be 10x more efficient
新智元 · wechat · 2026-07-21
A WeChat report says Google is working on a server chip codenamed Frozenv2 that would hard-code parts of Gemini’s architecture into silicon.
- The chip is described as not running the model on top of hardware, but embedding key decision paths directly into the chip.
- According to the report, it could be 6–10× more efficient per watt than Google’s latest TPU.
- Earliest deployment is said to be 2028.
- The story frames the move as Google’s response to a severe compute shortage and an industry-wide push toward more specialized inference silicon.
