→TPU - Tensor Processing Unit: - Would be good for readers to be able to find out what a Tensor is. |

Line 43:
Again, Google is appropriating the word "Tensor" for its own use. This is inappropriate: Words are for everyone to use and "tensor", like "vector", is no exception. For the uninitiated, tensor describes a field of vectors and is not at all bound to the AI. To the point, tensors were invented by italian mathematician Ricci-Curbastro to aid Einstein express his famous General Relativity in a single equation in an epoch were the computer hadn't even been invented, much less AI. The other words are "Processor" and "Unit", also, I believe, of general use. So should companies also have rights to CPU - Code Processing Unit, FPU - Floating Point Unit and GPU - Graphics Processing Unit? Of course not! So why would TPU - Tensor Processing Unit be the exception? Please, let's recover TPU for general use.

It would be useful for the article to, somewhere, include a link to [[Tensor (machine_learning)]], regardless of whether or not a TPU is Google-specific. I had never heard of a TPU (or a Tensor) until today, so I expected that, upon finding this article, it would make it clear what a Tensor is as well as what a TPU is.
