that is a totally different product which is only called TPU because the team who makes it wants to sound cool

  Could you elaborate? I guess the person you're replying to is talking about the Coral stuff such as the "USB Accelerator" et al, dubbed "Edge TPUs"; I too am after one of those for my home-security camera system but I've never really looked at what they _are_.

    Yes, Coral (edge TPU) are just custom designed ASICs mainly for inference (not training). No shared silicon with Real TPUs that Google runs in the data centers. They're just drafting off the marketing.
