Google is rolling out Ironwood, its seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit, a purpose-built artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator the company bills as its most advanced yet—built for efficient, at-scale inference and ready to push on Nvidia’s lead as availability expands in the coming weeks.
Google previewed Ironwood at Google Cloud Next ’25 in April and is now widening access, positioning the chip as custom silicon tuned for the “age of inference,” when models are expected to respond, reason, and generate in real time across global cloud regions.
Google's Ironwood TPU rollout looks like another win for their AI dominance – perfect for long-term holders. Been compounding in GOOGL since my 20s, tech like this builds real wealth over decades
Making their own chips provides Google with a massive advantage. Others might follow soon. Tesla is building its own inference chips which could be of major impact.
absolutely, custom silicon like Tesla's Dojo gives them a huge moat – been stacking TSLA alongside GOOGL for that exact reason, edges like these compound into serious wealth over a decade
Dojo was canned. Elon decided that building two chips was senseless. All the focus is now on AI5 (and the ensuing generations of it).
