Well, they haven't announced it's dead. In the electronics industry, even 30-year-old microcontrollers often have pin- and software-compatible replacements available to this day. So just because something has long been surpassed, doesn't mean it becomes unavailable. The electronics industry also has an orderly process for discontinuing parts, where customers are given advanced notice and a chance to place one last order if they want to stock up. This process hasn't been started for the Coral accelerators. With all that said - it's pretty clear that Google has lost interest in the product. When you're making hundreds of billions of dollars from ads, who's got the time for a product line that's bringing less than 0.1% of that? So personally I wouldn't base a new product on Coral today.
