Google TPU v5e

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 and inference 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.

Broadcom 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.

Reported by Reuters, citing The Information: Google has worked exclusively with Broadcom on its TPUs. No generation named; Google has not confirmed. 3

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

16 1

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

0.8 1

BF16 TFLOPS Published BF16 throughput per chip or accelerator module in TFLOPS. FP16 is a separate column. See the precision note for sparsity and module scope.

197 1

INT8 TOPS Peak INT8 throughput per chip in TOPS, as published. Mostly given for inference chips.

393 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.

Dense per-chip peaks. Google lists HBM bandwidth as 800 GiBps. 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.

256 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.

Deployed 1

Announced Year the owner first announced the chip publicly.

2,023 2

How to get it How an outside buyer can use the chip: a named cloud instance or service, a product, or 'Internal only'.
