Google Cloud announced the general availability of Ironwood, its seventhgeneration Tensor Processing Unit TPU, and expanded its portfolio with new Armbased Axion CPUs. Ironwood is designed for the "age of inference," delivering up to a 10x increase in peak performance over its predecessor for largescale model serving and training. Ironwood superpods can scale up to 9,216 chips, connected by a 9.6 Tb/s network fabric, forming the core of Googles AI Hypercomputer—an integrated supercomputing system. Complementing this, the new Axion CPUs such as the N4A and C4A metal instances offer up to 2x better priceperformance than comparable x86 VMs, handling the generalpurpose workloads like data preparation and application hosting that support AI systems.
