>I am surprised the TPU doesn't kick the ass of the NVIDIA chips.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed myself. When announced initially, it seemed Google had a huge lead. But they dragged their feet for two years getting it to market, and now NVidia is nipping at their heels already.

I suspect they are using the TPUs internally for competitive advantage, and these are the leftovers they are done with. They're probably using v4 or v5 internally already.
