[gtm1260]

This has been around for a while but has been stuck at 'Coming Soon' forever. Does anyone know what the status of this project actually is? I suspect that it has been stalled for some reason or the other.

One of the Google engineers on the project here. No, we haven't stalled. Keep an eye out. :-)

What kind of performance can we expect, for example compared to the intel ncs2?

[Aduket → mondoshawan]

do you have any price estimation?and performance wise, what is its equivalent in the market?

[alvar0 → Aduket]

75 / 150 usd. usb module / full soc board

Google has been marketing the TPUs for a long time but they were not even using them much as they were still on Nvidia stack. Not sure if it changed on the past 9 months but my guess is that they are able to run tensorflow on them.

This is nonsense.

[TaylorAlexander → theDoug]

Yep. Google definitely uses TPU internally.

We do sell access to a huge variety of NVIDIA GPU via Google Cloud Platform[1], which is maybe where the poster's confusion came from. Shrug.
