That's not commoditization. It's the exact opposite where Google is trying to have a differentiated TPU product they use.

It doesn't matter how TPUs are different from GPUs. It matters what the two chips have in common, which is the kind of workloads you can run on them. Any good that is a cheaper and plausible alternative to another good commoditizes the latter.
