Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) could advance Moore's Law 7 years into the future

Google unveils a custom chip, which it says advances computing performance by three generations.

May 18, 2016 2:08 PM

Forget the CPU, GPU, and FPGA, Google says its Tensor Processing Unit, or TPU, advances machine learning capability by a factor of three generations.

“TPUs deliver an order of magnitude higher performance per watt than all commercially available GPUs and FPGA,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai during the company’s I/O developer conference on Wednesday.

TPUs have been a closely guarded secret of Google, but Pichai said the chips powered the AlphaGo computer that beat Lee Sedol, the world champion in the incredibly complicated game called Go.

Pichai didn’t go into details of the Tensor Processing Unit but the company did disclose a little more information in a blog posted on the same day as Pichai’s revelation.

Great news!

It's a mind control device.

No, it is a more powerful processor that uses far less energy and advances AI through machine learning. Humanity needs it the most as humanity always goes back to believe in 2,000 year old crap in books and wanting to live on the freaking farm. Humanity is too illogical.

Humanity would be better off with a AI leader that thinks logically! Something that fights for a cure for disease and for true advancement in our species..
