Google Orders 3+ Million AI Chips from Intel for 2028 as TSMC Alternative

Jun 8, 2026

Google ordered over 3 million Tensor Processing Units from Intel for 2028 delivery, representing half of Google's estimated 6 million TPU production over the next two years. Nvidia is testing Intel's manufacturing technology for its upcoming Feynman GPU architecture. The move diversifies from TSMC, whose CEO C.C. Wei stated on June 6, 2026 that global chip supply will not meet AI-driven demand for years. Intel's stock jumped more than 10% on June 8, 2026 following the report.
