Alphabet Stock Rises Over 3% as Google Unveils Two Specialized AI Chip Systems

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) shares rose more than 3% to $294.50 in morning trading on Monday as Google unveiled two specialized AI computing systems, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, designed to improve data security and handle more demanding AI workloads. The additions expand Google’s AI hardware portfolio as it competes with Nvidia in the AI accelerator market. Both systems use existing eighth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chips in new hardware configurations rather than entirely new processor designs. TPU 8tx combines Google’s existing TPU 8t technology with fifth-generation AMD EPYC processors to support confidential computing, which protects sensitive information and AI models while they are being processed. The added security targets government agencies and regulated businesses that work with proprietary models or confidential data.
