Google adds TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max

Google said on Nov. 9, 2026 that TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max join TPU 8t and TPU 8i, which it called four eighth-generation TPU systems in one year. TPU 8tx uses the same silicon as TPU 8t with 5th Generation AMD EPYC hosts for confidential inference, and Google says it delivers up to 2x lower latency than TPU 8t. TPU 8i Max combines two TPU 8i chips in one package and doubles compute, SRAM, and HBM bandwidth inside the existing rack footprint.
