Google adds TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, its third and fourth TPU systems of 2026

Google announced TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max on Nov. 9, 30 outlets now covering it. TPU 8tx, built on TPU 8t silicon, offers up to 2x lower latency than 8t for confidential inference. TPU 8i Max joins two 8i chips for double the compute, SRAM and HBM bandwidth. Google says nearly 100 customers use TPUs. No pricing or availability dates were given.
