Google unveils two new Tensor Processing Units.
Google introduced two distinct AI chips, TPU 8t for training and TPU 8i for inference.
KEY POINTS
- TPU 8t achieves nearly triple the compute performance per pod over the previous Ironwood generation.
- TPU 8i offers 80% better performance-per-dollar than its predecessor and includes 288 GB high-bandwidth memory.
- Both chips provide up to two times better performance-per-watt compared to Ironwood and use fourth-generation liquid cooling.
- TPU 8t and 8i support major AI frameworks like JAX, PyTorch, SGLang, and vLLM for seamless deployment.
