Google introduced TPU 8tx for secure AI and TPU 8i Max for double compute and memory, both new variants of its eighth-gen TPUs. The 8tx uses the same silicon as the 8t and pairs with AMD’s fifth-generation EPYC CPUs. The 8i Max combines two 8i chips in a single package to double compute, SRAM and HBM bandwidth.

Key points

  • TPU 8tx delivers up to half the latency of the 8t with near-zero performance penalty for security.

  • TPU 8i Max doubles compute, on-chip SRAM and HBM bandwidth by packaging two 8i chips together.
