You need to visit an optician, the article clearly states AZ ran on 64 TPU2s and 5,000 TPU1s. If 5,064 specialised chips are "not that much more powerful" than a single general purpose x86 CPU then clearly Google has invented a total lemon of a chip that should be consigned to the dustbin of history asap.
