Google announces Trillium, it's new AI-specific chip

Google announced Trillium, its sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), which it calls the most performant and most energy-efficient TPU to date. Trillium achieves a 4.7X increase in peak compute performance per chip compared with TPU v5e, and it doubles High Bandwidth Memory capacity and bandwidth as well as Interchip Interconnect bandwidth. The chips are over 67% more energy-efficient than TPU v5e and can scale to 256 TPUs in a single pod, with availability later this year.
