Is GPU vs TPU the CISC vs RISC contest of the modern era?

Interesting blog, TPU vs GPU.

The chip made for the AI inference era – the Google TPU
I am publishing a comprehensive deep dive, not just a technical overview, but also strategic and financial coverage of the Google TPU.

Ich brauch mal eben Hilfe von den Chemiker*innen, Materialwissenschaftler*innen oder schlicht 3D-Druck-Nerds hier: Für ein Display sollen Schilder für die Materialien PLA, PETG und TPU gedruckt werden, auf denen auch die Struktur der Stoffe zu sehen sein soll. Leider bin ich kein Experte darin, ob die Abbildungen, die jemand rausgesucht hat, auch tatsächlich korrekt sind. Kann da jemand helfen? (darf gern geboostet werden)

Thank you for your counselling in my moment of consumer crisis. Order placed! Now I have to deal with the fact modern phones are designed to be impossible to hold securely in your hand. That beautiful glass and aluminum in the product shot is about to be swaddled in cheap TPU.

From Principles to Practice: A Systematic Study of LLM Serving on Multi-core NPUs
With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), the demand for high-performance LLM inference services continues to grow. To meet this demand, a growing number of AI accelerators have been proposed, such as Google TPU, Huawei NPU, Graphcore IPU, and Cerebras WSE, etc. Most of these accelerators adopt multi-core architectures to achieve enhanced scalability, but lack the flexibility of SIMT architectures. Therefore, without careful configuration of the hardware architecture, as wel…
