REGISTER NOW. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is designing a new server chip to help its in-house Gemini models operate more efficiently. The new chip, internally dubbed “Frozen v2,” is slated to be released sometime in 2028, The Information reported, citing anonymous sources. According to the report, the chip could be between six and 10 times more efficient than Google’s existing AI chips, measured by the number of tokens generated per unit of power. In a response to TechCrunch, the company didn’t directly confirm the report. It didn’t deny it either. “Our teams are constantly researching and experimenting with new innovations to deliver maximum performance and efficiency for our users and customers,” Google told TechCrunch. “While not every project moves into production, this rigorous exploration is central to our full stack approach. By co-designing our hardware and software from the ground up, we ensure our systems are integrated and highly optimized for real-world workloads.” AI compani
