According to CoinWorld, Google is expanding its AI hardware lineup with the launch of two systems designed for sensitive data and demanding applications, further strengthening its parent company Alphabet’s challenge to NVIDIA. The TPU 8TX is aimed at government agencies and regulated businesses that need to protect information. It combines Google’s existing TPU silicon with fifth-generation AMD Epyc processors, adding hardware-level security. The TPU 8I Max addresses computing bottlenecks by combining two TPU 8I chips in a single package, supporting applications that process large volumes of information. Both systems are expected to launch in 2027. Google’s TPU business currently serves nearly 100 customers, including AI developers, trading firms, retailers, and universities. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that Google’s TPU sales, including related hardware and software, could exceed $135 billion in 2028.
