A new player has entered the AI hardware arena. A Chinese startup, reportedly founded by a former Google engineer, is making waves with the announcement of its custom-designed AI chip. The company claims its new Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) outperforms Nvidia’s A100 GPU, a benchmark established in 2020, in both speed and efficiency. If these claims hold true, it could represent a significant leap forward in AI hardware development and offer a competitive alternative in a market currently dominated by Nvidia.
