Google announced TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, two new configurations of its eighth-generation AI computing systems. The company says 8tx protects sensitive data and model weights while they are being processed, targeting regulated enterprises and governments.

TPU 8tx uses the same silicon as TPU 8t, paired with AMD EPYC hosts and a low-latency network. TPU 8i Max combines two TPU 8i chips in one package, doubling compute, SRAM and high-bandwidth memory bandwidth relative to TPU 8i, Google says. The additions change system packaging, networking and security rather than introduce a new chip generation.
