Google AI Infrastructure PM On New TPUs, Liquid Cooling and More

At Google Cloud Next '25, the company introduced Ironwood, its most advanced custom Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) to date. With 9,216 chips per pod delivering 42.5 exaflops of compute power, Ironwood doubles the performance per watt compared to its predecessor. Senior product manager Chelsie Czop explained that designing TPUs involves balancing power, thermal constraints, and interconnectivity.

Google's long-term investment in liquid cooling, now in its fourth generation, plays a key role in managing the heat generated by these powerful chips. Czop highlighted the incremental design improvements made visible through changes in the data center setup, such as liquid cooling pipe placements. Customers often ask whether to use TPUs or GPUs, but the answer depends on their specific workloads and infrastructure. Some, like Moloco, have seen a 10x performance boost by moving directly from CPUs to TPUs. However, many still use both TPUs and GPUs. As models evolve faster than hardware, Google relies on collaborations with teams like DeepMind to anticipate future needs.
