Google adds confidential TPU 8tx and dual-chip TPU 8i Max systems
Google Cloud has expanded its eighth-generation TPU family with TPU 8tx for confidential inference and TPU 8i Max for high-context, high-density workloads. TPU 8tx protects active data and model weights in hardware and claims up to twice the inference speed of TPU 8t, while 8i Max doubles compute, SRAM and HBM bandwidth over TPU 8i.
