The TFLOPS numbers are not directly comparable. The TPUs use reduced precision in some areas, whereas I am guessing the Titan V numbers are based on single precision operations.

Titan V numbers are also reduced precision (16 bits), using their tensor cores.
If all you need is reduced precision, then it’s fair to compare the two. I’d also assume memory bandwidth matters just as much as TFLOPS for ml workloads.
