Thank you for the excellent read 💡 ! Would love to understand better the differences between GPUs and TPUs, I don't know if such comparison is in scope of future articles :). Looking forward to part 2!

In 2013 Google would have been working with LSI Corp, acquired by Avago in 2014 and founding the custom design division which is the core of their AI success today. The acquisition of Broadcom by Avago in 2015 would bring in the network switch and SOC expertise., retaining the Broadcom name. Together these form the broad chip design and product capabilities of the current Broadcom.

Google was long silent about who their partners were so by the time it became known, the partner was Broadcom. But the logical original partner would have been LSI Corp.
