>Note that 3rd generation Google TPUs are on par with latest NVidia GPUs in terms of performance according to Google. If Tesla has made a chip that is 100x faster, they should spin it off

I don't think they've claimed that the FSD computer (hw3) is 100x faster than "the latest NVidia GPUs". He's said that it's about an order of magnitude in the number of video images the current Nvidia hardware in a Tesla can process (that is, from 150-200fps to ~2000fps) without needing to scale down any frames.

I think he may have said in one live interview it would be "2000%" better, but since he said previously it would do 2000 frames/s, that may have just been a mistake of saying "percent" instead of "frames".
