From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45848676 :

> 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?

There are TPUs made out of silicon carbide with standard fab.

There is in-flight tensor processing with photons, but that's not quite a TPU.
