CPU, GPU, or TPU: Choosing Compute by Workload, Not by Benchmark

The three aren't rungs on a ladder with the TPU at the top. They're points on one flexibility-versus-specialization curve, and the right choice is decided by your workload shape, your framework, and where you're willing to be locked in — not by peak throughput.
