The custom chip is based on Vega and DF tests the service:

Google even appears to be starting its own gaming studio for the service too:

It's not a big win, nVidia is concentrating on Amazon Web.

AMD is also concentrating on Amazon:

Thats a win for AMD over Intel.

My response was in regards to this news. nVidia's T4 is already in many data centers, I'd be very very surprised if they even competed for this.

AMD made a semi custom part for Google,and Amazon is already using them for their physical infrastructure.LMAO.

Even Microsoft is using them for their own game streaming service too:

As usual the GPU section delivers.
