Now, Apple has revealed it uses TPUs to train its AI models, positioning Google chips as an alternative to Nvidia’s market-leading GPUs. CNBC got an exclusive look inside the lab where Google makes its chips, and its top executive showcased TPU Version 6, Trillium, and its new Arm-based CPU, Axion, both coming out later in 2024.
