Google has unveiled its latest TPU v5p chip, which is expected to accelerate the development of Generative AI. The processing power of the TPU v5p chip is significantly higher than its predecessors. However, its standout feature is the number of chips per pod, which is a whopping 8,960 chips, more than double that of the TPU v4. Additionally, the memory per chip is an impressive 95GB compared to the TPU v4’s 32GB. In line with this, NVIDIA has also released a special edition graphics card for high-memory LLM group projects.
Although Google introduced the TPU v5p alongside Gemini, Gemini itself will utilize the previous generation TPU for its development. In addition to TPU chips, Google also offers the AI Hypercomputer, a hardware and software suite specifically designed for training artificial intelligence models.
TLDR: Google has launched the TPU v5p chip, known for its high processing power and a remarkable number of chips per pod. With 8,960 chips and 95GB of memory, it outperforms its predecessors. Gemini will utilize the previous TPU generation, and Google also provides the AI Hypercomputer for AI model training.
