It's weird not more is made of the fact the Google's TPUs aren't the only real, shipping, credible alternative to NVidia.

I wonder how much a TPU company would be worth if Google spun it off and it started selling them?

Google kind of has done this with Coral: https://coral.ai/about-coral/

These TPUs obviously aren't the ones deployed in Google's datacenters. That being said, I'm not sure how practical it would be to deploy TPUs elsewhere.

Also, Amazon's Infinera (sp?) gets a fair bit of usage in industrial settings. It's just that these nvidia GPUs offer an amazing breeding ground for research and cutting edge work.
