Google's Ironwood TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) is seventh-generation TPU, a custom-designed AI accelerator chip. It was announced on April 9, 2025, at Google Cloud Next 25.
Ironwood is specifically designed for inference, which is the process of running already trained AI models to make predictions or generate responses.
Key features include significantly increased compute power, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) capacity and bandwidth, and enhanced inter-chip interconnect (ICI) for efficient scaling.
Ironwood is a key component of Google Cloud's AI Hypercomputer architecture.
