Isn’t this owned by google? Curious why you’d use TPUs at the edge over other chips with long term support and better community uptick.

- 70rd 5y agoWhat are the alternatives with these specs (power draw, mainly)?
- joshvm 5y agoAt the same power level and general availability with OK support, you're looking at the MyriadX/NCS2. Even then I think the Coral beats it on performance. Next step up is the Jetson Nano (10-15 W) which is a lot more beefy, but power hungry. There are also a bunch of chip companies that make accelerators, like the RK3399Pro from Rockchip and some other OEMs from China, but I have no idea how good the docs and availability are if you're not a big partner. The RK3399 has mainline kernel support which is attractive, but again there aren't many reliable board vendors. Khadas make some nice looking SBCs. I was also faintly surprised to learn that the Paralella still exists! I always wanted one to play with and I thought they discontinued them.
