Level 1

The Google TPU v6e Trillium is an AI TPU made by Google. Peak throughput is 918 TFLOPS at FP16/BF16 and 1,836 TFLOPS at FP8. It carries 32 GB of HBM3 with 1.64 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Rated power (TDP) is 350 W. It is built on N5 at TSMC.

Level 2

In the BenchGecko dataset it sits in the frontier tier: current-generation flagship silicon shipping at scale to hyperscalers. It follows the TPU v5p and is followed by the TPU v7. Disclosed buyers include Google. Specs come from manufacturer datasheets; the spec card on this page shows the dataset values and their as-of date.

Level 3

That is 2.62 FP16 TFLOPS per watt. Memory bandwidth per unit of compute is 1.79 GB/s per FP16 TFLOP: a higher ratio helps memory-bound inference, while peak TFLOPS matter more for compute-bound training. Fabrication: Taiwan. Real throughput depends on the model, precision, batch size and software stack, so compare tokens per second per dollar for your own workload.
