New Optical Switch Up to 1000x Faster Than Transis...
Exactly. While this speed vs space trade off makes less sense in mobiles, it might make perfect sense in industrial settings. Imagine 3D computers the size of a room (Craigh 2) but a 1000 times faster than any TPU only cluster.

If you can trade single-core speed for parallelism cluster of traditional electronics make more sense, but for some algorithms you can't.
Imagine a CPU with the complexity of Arduino but running at 100 GHz.
