Google says its artificial intelligence is faster and better than humans at laying out chips for artificial intelligence

Google claims not only has it made an AI that's faster and as good as if not better than humans at designing chips, the web giant is using it to design chips for faster and better AI. By designing, we mean the drawing up of a chip's floorplan, which is the arrangement of its subsystems – such as its CPU and GPU cores, cache memory, RAM controllers, and so on – on its silicon die. The placement of the minute electronic circuits that make up these modules can affect the microchip's power consumption and processing speed: the wiring and signal routing needed to connect it all up matters a lot.
