Summary: Google just announced its new Ironwood AI chips. These are extremely powerful chips that will power the company\u2019s AI tasks going forward.
\nAn AI agent is only as smart as the hardware powering it. This is why companies pay top dollar for the most powerful chips on the market to drive their AI. Nvidia has seen a massive surge in popularity thanks to the whole AI boom, but other companies are developing their own AI chips.
\nGoogle has been developing its own AI chips for years. The processing units that the company uses will sound pretty familiar if you know about Google\u2019s Pixel devices. They\u2019re called TPUs (Tensor Processing Units). They are the building blocks to Google\u2019s AI. While Google comes out with new AI chips every couple of years, its latest chip marks an exponential improvement over the company\u2019s previous model.
\nGoogle announces its new Ironwood AI chip
\nGoogle\u2019s AI is some of the smartest in the world, despite its numerous hiccups. This is because of the incredible amount of power behind the models. The company just took the wraps off of its 7th-gen AI chip architecture called Ironwood. It\u2019s going to power Google\u2019s AI tech going forward. Looking at this chip\u2019s specs, we should expect a pretty big improvement to Google\u2019s AI.
\nBack in 2023, Google released its chip called TPU v5p. This chip came in pods of 9860 chips, while Iron comes in pods of 9216 chips. This leads to a massive jump in overall capabilities. Ironwood has a staggering 192GB of memory, which is a 102% increase over TPU v5p (95GB). Also, Ironwood has more than 10x the TFLOPS than TPU v5p, capping out at 4.614 Exaflops compared to TPU v5p\u2019s 459 TFLOPS.
\nOne thing to note is that Google didn\u2019t compare this new chip to 2024\u2019s chip called Trilium. Google said that is because Ironwood is more of a successor to TPU v5p than Trilium. The company said that Trilium was a follow-up to a TPU 5pe, a less powerful chip.<\/p>\n
