So, as with everything Tesla, there’s a whole lot of asterisks involved:

• Each individual Dojo D1 chip is only 22.6 TFLOP FP32 at 400w of power consumption. Compared to the newly announced AMD Instinct MI250, which pushes 45.3 TFLOP F32 at 500w.
• The claims of 9 PFLOP per tile is only if you’re using the new custom floating point format that they’ve created (https://www.scribd.com/document/535276674/Tesla-Dojo-Technology). Regular FP32, you’re talking about 565 TFLOP per tile or 6.7 PFLOP per rack (120kw draw)  - fast, but when AMD is offering 348 TFLOP F32 in a standard 2U form factor and you can put 24 of those in a standard rack for 8.3 PFLOP per rack (96kw draw), not so impressive.

I just finally got to see the stuff about Tesla's Dojo Processor stuff.

 

9 PFLOPS per "tile" and 36 TB/s of bandwidth.

Um..wow.
