TPUs

TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) are specialized AI chips developed by Google to accelerate machine learning workloads, designed to perform high-performance matrix computations more efficiently than general-purpose processors.

Why it’s in the news: They are in the news due to Google's Project Suncatcher, which aims to test these chips in space for AI compute.
