TL;DR

Google has announced the eighth generation of Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for its data centers.

Google says this reduces energy requirements for actual end use, which in turn should benefit the environment.


Last year at its Google Cloud Next event, Google announced the Ironwood class of tensor processing units (TPUs) that power its data centers.
