Google's TPUs employ specialized systolic array designs optimized specifically for tensor math operations. The key differentiator in 2026 is interconnect technology: NVIDIA relies on electrical NVLink switching, while Google's Ironwood pods use optical circuit switching with mirrors to route light beams directly between 9,200+ chips, avoiding the memory wall problem that plagues traditional electrical connections at trillion-parameter scale. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
