Intel and Google Cloud have announced that they are working together to create a new category of chips, one that Intel hopes will find large scale acceptance in the broader cloud computing market.
To that end, while Intel is working on the new chip, called Mount Evans with Google, Reuters reports that the chip will be offered to other cloud vendors as well.
The Mount Evans chip, which Google and Intel are referring to as an “infrastructure processing unit” (IPU), is designed keeping in mind the specific demands and peculiarities of cloud computing environments.
