Google Takes Aim at Nvidia With New AI Chips Built for Privacy and Massive Memory

Google unveiled two AI systems on Monday, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, joining its eighth-generation TPU lineup that gives businesses four configurations. TPU 8tx uses hardware-level confidential computing to protect data during processing, and Google claims up to half the latency of TPU 8t with almost no performance penalty. TPU 8i Max combines two TPU 8i chips to double computing power, on-chip SRAM and high-bandwidth memory throughput, and Google says it serves nearly 100 TPU customers.
