The numbers I've seen for a TPU v3 pod are ~100 PFLOPs, whereas this article claims over 3 EFLOPs, so that's at least 30 TPU v3 pods. Arguments about how useful FLOPs as a measure actually are aside, that's still quite a lot of computing power.

No, it's 200 PFLOPs:

> Built for the U.S. Department of Energy, this is a machine designed to tackle the grand challenges of our time. It will accelerate the work of the world’s best scientists in high-energy physics, materials discovery, healthcare and more, with the ability to crank out 200 petaflops of computing power to high-precision scientific simulations.

EDIT: OK, it's 200 PFLOPs of high precision math, 3 EFLOPs of lower precision math. I take my comment back.
