TPU-like chips; though they can be (partially) included on GPUs as well as is the case with the latest NVidia/AMD GPUs.


There's nothing special about the tpu. The latest gpus are adding identical hardware to the tpu, and the name "GPU" is a misnomer now since those cards are not even intended for graphics (no monitor out). Gpus will be around for a very long time, just not doing graphics.


Yep. Simply the core idea of attacking memory latency with massive parrelization of in flight operations rather than large caches makes sense for a lot of different workloads, and that probably isn't going to change.
