Google’s custom-built processor is ridiculously powerful

Very interesting, but could you please provide an explanation for the graphic?

TPU/CPU & TPU/GPU, then TPU'/CPU and TPU'/GPU.

What is the difference between TPU and TPU Prime?
 
Death of Intel?


How does it compare to the i7?

You'll likely find that it's only super fast for very specific workloads.
SUN, for example, makes database servers that are supremely fast at database work, but struggle elsewhere.

Hardly.

This is an ASIC and its very specific to Googles TensorFlow system. Chip is clocked at around 700Mhz and is manufactured at 28nm

i7 is a general processor. It is good at everything, but not amazing at one specific thing.

This thing looks like it was specifically designed to train and implement deep recurrent neural networks.

Oh I see. Sorry didn't know it's ASIC
