Seems to me the article is claiming a lot of things, but is very light on actual comparisons that matter to you and me, namely: how does one of those fabled AI-designed chop compare to their competition ?

For example, how much better are these latest gen TPU's when compared to NVidia's equivalent offering ?

Good question. I thought the tpus were a way for Google to apply pricing pressure to nvidia by having an alternative. They are not particularly better (it’s hard to get utilization), and I believe Google continues to be a big buyer of nvidia chips.
