Arguably that's a GPU? Other than (currently) exotic ways to run LLMs like photonics or giant SRAM tiles there isn't a device that's better at inference than GPUs and they have the benefit that they can be used for training as well. You need the same amount of memory and the same ability to do math as fast as possible whether its inference or training.
