Our 7th gen TPU Ironwood is coming to GA!  It’s our most powerful TPU yet: 10X peak performance improvement vs. TPU v5p, and more than 4X better performance per chip for both training + inference workloads vs. TPU v6e (Trillium). We use TPUs to train + serve our own frontier models, including Gemini, and we’re excited to make the latest generation available to @googlecloud customers.

Of course! Google's 7th gen TPU, named Ironwood, is very competitive with Nvidia's latest Blackwell series of chips, like the B200. On a chip-to-chip basis, both have very similar performance and memory specifications. The main difference lies in how they are scaled up for large AI models, with Google using large "pods" of TPUs and Nvidia using its NVLink technology.
