Google adds TPU 8tx for confidential computing and the dual-chip TPU 8i Max, with AMD EPYC hosts
What changed
Google Cloud said on 9 November that it is adding two systems to its eighth-generation TPU family, as reported by Silicon Report: the TPU 8tx, built on the same die as the TPU 8t training chip and packaged for confidential inference and small-scale training, and the TPU 8i Max, which puts two TPU 8i chips on one package. Google says the dual-chip package fits existing rack footprints and doubles the silicon deployed per rack, which raises compute per rack and so the power and heat each rack must handle. AMD said the same day that its 5th Gen EPYC processors are the host CPUs for TPU 8tx. Google has not published rack power or cooling figures for the new systems.
