Forget one chip to rule them all: With TPU 8, Google has an AI arms race to win

Google's TPU 8 dual-track accelerators (2.8x faster training, 80% higher inference per-dollar efficiency) backed by custom Arm-based Axion CPUs and proprietary network topologies represent an aggressive vertical integration play to control the entire AI hardware stack.

Our eighth generation TPUs: two chips for the agentic era

Google's TPU-8 chips (8t training, 8i inference) deliver 2x better power efficiency over Ironwood, purpose-built for agentic AI workloads with Boardfly topology and bare-metal framework support.
