> One pod of TPU 8t is 121 ExaFlops; or 121,000 PetaFlops.
Meanwhile, the compute capacity of the top 10 supercomputers in the entire world is 11,487 Petaflops.[1]
I know, I know, not the same flops, yada yada, but still. Just 1 pod alone is quite a beast.

Not only not the same size, 4-bit flops versus 64-bit flops, but not the same programmability either. the TPUs can do just matrix-multiplications and some supporting math.
Otherwise bitcoin mining rigs dwarf everything, if you just want to count raw operations per second.
