Key facts

Architecture (company-stated)

A Language Processing Unit built for AI inference, with a programmable assembly-line architecture and a software-first compiler model.

Availability

The LPU Inference Engine is available through GroqCloud and the Groq API. Benchmark leadership is a company claim.

Memory bandwidth (company-stated, Mar 2025)

On-chip SRAM bandwidth upwards of 80 TB/s vs about 8 TB/s for GPU off-chip HBM, which Groq says alone gives up to a 10x speed advantage.

Process node (company-stated, Mar 2025)

Current chips are built on a 14 nm process, moving toward 4 nm; Groq claims up to 10x better energy efficiency than GPUs.
