Google deploys its third-generation TPUs in pods of up to 1,024 chips. The use of the word 'tensor' naturally throws up comparisons to the tensor cores that enable DLSS in Nvidia’s RTX GPUs, but compared to the graphics chip, TPUs are less precise and lack any hardware for texturing and rasterisation but can rattle through high volumes of computation at a remarkable rate. These are the same chips that form the back-end of services such as Google Photos, where one can process over 100 million photos a day, and Google Street View, where they, impressively, extracted all of the text in the Street View database in less than five days. AlphaStar runs on Google’s proprietary tensor processing units (TPUs), which are application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) developed specifically for neural network machine learning.
