MediaTek's Google TPU v9 faces potential delay over glass substrate yields, but 2026 orders remain strong
What happened
Market reports suggest that MediaTek's tensor processing unit (TPU) v9 project with Google could face delays in volume production, reportedly because Google is revising the chip's design; the title also cites glass substrate yield issues. According to the title, 2026 orders reportedly remain strong. This is an unconfirmed market report/rumor, and the volume production delay has not been verified. Industry observers expect MediaTek may address some of these concerns during its earnings conference in late October.
