Google TPU v5e Pod
A full TPU v5e pod is 256 chips in a 2D torus. Per chip Google publishes 197 TFLOPS bf16 and 393 TOPS int8, giving 50.4 PFLOPS and 100.6 POPS across the pod. Memory is 256 x 16 GB HBM at 800 GiBps per chip, with 400 GBps of bidirectional inter-chip interconnect per chip. v5e is Google's cost-and-efficiency oriented generation, which is why its pod is a thirty-fifth the size of the v5p pod launched alongside it. Google publishes no pod-level compute or power figure; the compute above is chip count times published per-chip peak, the convention Google's own published v4 and Ironwood pod figures both confirm. No sparse figures are published, so all figures are dense.

Where a vendor states a basis, the figure shown is the dense one, and any figure it publishes is listed separately. Vendors commonly headline the sparse number instead: for NVIDIA's 2:4 structured sparsity that is exactly twice the dense figure, though other vendors' sparse modes do not all follow that ratio.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the TPU v5e Pod cost?
Google sells the TPU v5e Pod on quote through OEMs and resellers, and Flopper has no live rental listing for its TPU v5e accelerator to derive an hourly figure from. System rental pricing →
How much power does the TPU v5e Pod require?
Google has not published a power figure for the TPU v5e Pod, and Flopper does not derive one from the accelerator count because the rest of the system draws power too.
How many GPUs are in the TPU v5e Pod?
256. The TPU v5e Pod carries 256 Google TPU v5e 16GB accelerators in a pod form factor, and every throughput figure on this page is the total across them. TPU v5e specifications →
