A TPU is supposed to do more Tensor ops TOPS/wHr than a GPU.
Though, some GPUs have a TPU. For example Nvidia DLSS3 is a TPU.

> How does Cerebras WSE-3 with 44GB of 'L2' on-chip SRAM compare to Google's TPUs, Tesla's TPUs, NorthPole, Groq LPU, Tenstorrent's, and AMD's NPU designs?

To make electronic and photonic TPUs (and CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs) faster, we should make them out of graphene and carbon nanotubes and other allotropes of carbon (instead of photoresisting and doping silicon and copper)
