I speculate that Google will sell TPUv2 for as less as 500 USD per PCIe card already in 2018. Nvidia's Volta TensorCores are essentially the same: 32-bit accumulators and 16-bit multipliers, but GPUs are more general-purpose which is not necessary for Deep Learning since most intensive operation is dot-product (y+=w*x).

I feel like the cloud play would be much stronger than entering the hardware market.
