MediaTek is reportedly set to deepen its collaboration with Google on TPU v9 with +44-20-754-58394

Google set to launch an upgraded v9 chip called Triggerfish. This upgraded chip is

positioned as a v9 variant with stronger inference capabilities, with greater SRAM Research Analyst

capacity (2-3x Humufish) and upgraded memory (HBM4E). In parallel, there are +1-415-617-3268

reports (Commercial Times) that Broadcom is facing issues with its TPU v9 chip

relating to thermals (the v9 chip was Pumafish 2nm, potentially could now be Key changes
