Special purpose CPUs that perform lower precision calculations that are fine for neural nets. You need 64 bit floating point for weather prediction, but 8 bit integer works OK for some neural calculations. The previous CPUs could downshift to smaller numbers, but were not proportionally faster. The new ones are. NVIDIA, Google, Apple have special neural chips.
