# Rumors suggest that Google is interested in using Intel for its next-generation tensor processing unit (TPU) chips.

*semiconductor · news · 2026-05-04 · Wccftech*

## Key points

- Intel's EMIB-T packaging technology is being evaluated by Google for its next-generation TPU chips.
- Intel's current EMIB-T yield is 90%, but Google requires at least a 98% yield benchmark.
- The 90% yield reported is for validation, not mass production, making further yield improvements challenging.
- Google is also considering TSMC for potential Humufish TPU cost savings and may bypass MediaTek.

**Companies:** Google, Intel, NVIDIA, TSMC, MediaTek
**Countries:** United States, Taiwan
