Google TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod
A full TPU7x (Ironwood) pod is 9,216 chips in a 3D torus, the largest TPU pod Google has built. Per chip Google publishes 2,307 TFLOPS bf16 and 4,614 TFLOPS fp8, giving 21.26 EFLOPS and 42.52 EFLOPS across the pod; the fp8 total matches the 42.5 exaflops Google has stated publicly for an Ironwood pod, which independently confirms that chip count times per-chip peak is Google's own arithmetic. Memory is 9,216 x 192 GiB HBM at 7,380 GBps per chip, for 1.77 PB of HBM and 68 PB/s of aggregate memory bandwidth. Supported slice shapes go up to 8x16x16, or 2,048 chips, within the pod. No int8 figure is published. The table lists four SparseCores per chip; those are embedding-lookup dataflow processors, not weight sparsity. Google publishes no sparse figures and no pod-level power.

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 TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod cost?
Google sells the TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod on quote through OEMs and resellers, and Flopper has no live rental listing for its TPU v7 accelerator to derive an hourly figure from. System rental pricing →
How much power does the TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod require?
Google has not published a power figure for the TPU7x (Ironwood) 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 TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod?
9216. The TPU7x (Ironwood) Pod carries 9216 Google TPU v7 192GB accelerators in a pod form factor, and every throughput figure on this page is the total across them. TPU v7 specifications →
