Google is reportedly in discussions with Samsung to manufacture a component of its next-generation AI chip, codenamed Icefish. While TSMC is slated to produce the primary part of the chip, Samsung's involvement would leverage its 2-nanometer production technology for a memory-connecting component. This move comes as the chip industry faces capacity constraints due to high AI-driven demand, and Google aims to diversify its AI chip offerings beyond Nvidia's GPUs. The Icefish chip is currently in the design phase, with mass production potentially starting in 2028. AI
