Google’s partnership with MediaTek is partly because of the strong relationship between the Taiwanese firm and TSMC.
Recently, Google collaborated with TSMC instead of Samsung to produce the first custom Pixel chip, Tensor G5.
According to reports, Google plans to drop the Korean Samsung in favor of TSMC to launch its fully customized Tensor G5 chip in 2025.
The current power project by Google could support its local operations and its ambition to tap Taiwan’s market for next-generation chips.
Since 2019, Baseload Capital’s subsidiary, Baseload Power Taiwan, has been actively conducting local geothermal resource exploration, engaging closely with local communities, and working with the Taiwan government to improve the regulatory and permitting framework for geothermal energy.
Google’s support of these geothermal projects will help build the local workforce and expertise, supply chain, and infrastructure to unlock lower costs and faster deployment of future projects.
