This seems unknowable without Google's internal data. The salient question is: "how many Nvidia GPUs would Google have bought if they didn't have TPUs?"
The answer is probably "a lot", but realistically we don't know how many TPUs are deployed internally and how many Nvidia GPUs it displaced.
- paulmd 4y agoTesla and the Dojo architecture is another interesting one - that's another Jim Keller project and frankly Dojo may be a little underappreciated given how everything Keller touches tends to turn into gold. https://www.nextplatform.com/2022/08/23/inside-teslas-innovative-and-homegrown-dojo-ai-supercomputer/ https://www.nextplatform.com/2022/08/23/inside-teslas-innova... Much like Google, I think Tesla realized this is a capability they need, and at the scales they expect to operate, it's cheaper than buying a whole bunch of NVIDIA product.
