Google Introduced Trillium: Server AI Processor

Google recently announced a new AI server processor called Trillium, which was a real breakthrough in the field of computing technology. Trillium delivers impressive performance, being almost five times faster than its predecessor. This processor is designed specifically for tasks related to artificial intelligence and machine learning.

For the sixth generation TPU, called Trillium, the company claims a 4.7x increase in computing performance compared to TPU v5e in tasks related to generating test and media content using AI large language models (LLM). At the same time, Trillium is 67% more energy efficient than TPU v5e, the company notes. According to the TechCrunch portal, the company was able to achieve a significant increase in Trillium’s performance by increasing the number of matrix multipliers (MXUs) used, as well as increasing the clock frequency of the chip. The company has also doubled memory bandwidth for Trillium. More specific technical details of Trillium are not provided.

The computing power of the new processor will be available to customers of Google cloud services by the “end of 2024”,
