Google announced two new eighth-generation TPU systems on Monday, Nov. 9: TPU 8tx, built on TPU 8t silicon with 5th Gen AMD EPYC hosts for hardware-level confidential inference, and TPU 8i Max, which packs two TPU 8i chips together for double the compute, SRAM and HBM bandwidth, according to Google’s blog. Google said TPU 8tx delivers up to 2x lower latency than TPU 8t and that TPUs now have nearly 100 customers. The Verge noted the launch brings Google to four new TPUs in one year, after the 8t and 8i in April.
