Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO, has a Q&A session at a press conference during the APEC CEO summit on October 31, 2025 in Gyeongju, South Korea.

Nvidia shares fell on Tuesday after The Information reported that Meta is considering using chips designed by Google.

Shares of Nvidia were 3.6% lower in premarket trade. Google-parent Alphabet was trading 4.2% higher after a more than 6% rally on Monday.

On Monday, The Information reported that Meta is considering using Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) in its data centers in 2027. Meta may also rent TPUs from Google's cloud unit next year, the publication reported.

"Google Cloud is experiencing accelerating demand for both our custom TPUs and NVIDIA GPUs; we are committed to supporting both, as we have for years," a Google spokesperson told CNBC.

Google launched its first-generation TPU in 2018 and it was initially designed for its own internal use for its cloud computing business. Since then, Google has launched more advanced versions of its chip that are designed to handle artificial intelligence workloads.

TPUs are a customized chip and experts say this gives Google an advantage over rivals as it can offer customers a highly efficient product for AI.

If Meta uses the TPUs, it would be big win for Google and potential validation of the technology.

Shares of Broadcom , which helps Google design its TPUs, were up more than 2% in premarket trade on Tuesday after an 11% rise the day before.
