Google TPU 8t

Owner The company that specified the chip and runs it in its own cloud, data centers or products.

Google 1

Role What the owner says the chip is for: training, inference, both, or a general-purpose server CPU.

Training 1

Design partner The ASIC house that co-designed or physically implemented the chip (Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, Alchip, GUC and others), as stated by the owner, the partner, a filing or named trade-press reporting. 'In-house' when the owner states it designed the chip itself, including through an acquired team such as Annapurna Labs.

MediaTek 3

Partner basis Who says so: the owner, the partner, or press reporting with the outlet named. A reported partner is not confirmed by the owner.

Stated by Broadcom CEO Hock Tan on Broadcom's Q3 FY2026 earnings call (Motley Fool transcript): Broadcom ships TPU 8i, MediaTek builds TPU 8t. Google has not confirmed. 3

Memory capacity GB On-package memory per chip in GB. Blank for CPUs, whose memory sits off-package.

216 1

Memory bandwidth TB/s Peak memory bandwidth per chip in TB/s, as published.

6.528 1

FP4 TFLOPS Published FP4 throughput per chip or accelerator module in TFLOPS. MXFP4 and MX4 have separate columns; see the precision note for scope.

12,600 1

Precision note What the throughput figures mean: dense or sparse, which precision, per chip or per package, and any figure the owner states only in another unit.

Google states 12.6 PFLOPS peak FP4 per chip; no FP8 or BF16 figure published. 128 MB on-chip SRAM, Arm Axion host CPU. TPU 8tx (Nov 2026) uses the same silicon with AMD EPYC hosts. 1

Largest pod chips The largest scale-up domain the owner states: chips per pod, UltraServer, supernode or rack joined by the chip-to-chip interconnect.

9,600 1

Status Announced: public roadmap without verified deployment. Sampling: first silicon or limited internal use. Preview: customers can request early access, without a GA claim. Deployed: stated production use or general availability. Discontinued: program stopped.

Announced 1

Announced Year the owner first announced the chip publicly.

2,026 1

Deployment scale The largest deployment the owner or a named report states: chip counts, clusters, gigawatts or regions.
