  • Google has launched a new computer chip named Ironwood.
  • Ironwood is a 7th generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) designed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) tasks.
  • It is optimized for Large Language Models (LLMs) and Mixture of Experts (MoEs) to generate insights.
  • The TPU supports up to 9,216 chips per pod, delivering 42.5 Exaflops of computing power.
  • Ironwood uses advanced liquid cooling and delivers double the performance per watt compared to the previous generation.
  • TPUs are specialized processors for AI, more efficient than CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and are used in Google services like Search, YouTube, and DeepMind.
