Google likely to work with MediaTek for 8th-gen TPUs: report

Following Google’s recent announcement of eighth-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Taiwan’s Commercial Times reports Google is likely to partner with MediaTek to supply parts of the upcoming chips. The report is a supply‑chain development rather than a confirmed deal but could have implications for chipmakers and foundry partners in Taiwan. GOOG shares were modestly higher on the day (listed at $342.32, +1.35% in the article), suggesting limited immediate market reaction. The news could be incremental positive for MediaTek and related Taiwan suppliers if confirmed, but the report’s tentative nature keeps near‑term impact muted.
