This has been around for a while but has been stuck at 'Coming Soon' forever. Does anyone know what the status of this project actually is? I suspect that it has been stalled for some reason or the other.

One of the Google engineers on the project here. No, we haven't stalled. Keep an eye out. :-)
What kind of performance can we expect, for example compared to the intel ncs2?
do you have any price estimation?and performance wise, what is its equivalent in the market?

Google has been marketing the TPUs for a long time but they were not even using them much as they were still on Nvidia stack. Not sure if it changed on the past 9 months but my guess is that they are able to run tensorflow on them.
This is nonsense.

Yep. Google definitely uses TPU internally.
We do sell access to a huge variety of NVIDIA GPU via Google Cloud Platform[1], which is maybe where the poster's confusion came from. Shrug.
