This is the smallest unit of a typical AI ASIC, for example Google's TPU would have several dozen more compute units inside of it per chip.

In essence this is the simplest unit of an entire AI chip. The more complicated units of AI ASICS are actually the periphery, especially around PCIe and Ethernet and the sub-systems that link many AI ASICs together to move huge amounts of data around ultimately to each TPU.

So its missing ALOT

Thanks. But that wasn't my question. For this part, how is the performance? State of the art? Better? Or worse?
