Google TPU 8t NEW
Overview
Google's eighth-generation training TPU, announced at Google Cloud Next in April 2026. Google publishes a peak of 12.6 PFLOPS of FP4 per chip, with 216 GB of HBM3e at 6,528 GB/s and 128 MB of on-chip Vmem SRAM. Its scale is the notable part: 9,600 chips form a single superpod on a 3D torus with 47 petabits per second of non-blocking bisectional bandwidth, and Google's Virgo network can link over 134,000 of them. FP4 is the only precision Google states for this chip; no FP8, BF16 or INT8 figure is published, and none is inferred from earlier TPU generations. Google publishes no sparse figure for any TPU, so this is a dense rate.
