TPU v3 is rated 420 teraflops, while V100 GPU is rated 125 teraflops.

What does TPU v3 mean there? tpu v3.8? In which case you are comparing 8 cores/4 chips to a single GPU which hardly seems fair. It's hard to compare across ASICs. In practice the the largest readily available amount of compute seem to be 8 V100s vs one 'Cloud TPU' (tpu v3.32). Those two have relatively similar performance in practice (FLOPs seem to be a very poor way to compare across ASICs), although TPU is typically several times less expensive.
