The latest information on the upcoming Google Pixel 10 series suggests that it will be powered by Tensor chips manufactured by TSMC, not Samsung. This update comes from new database findings by Android Authority, confirming the use of the Tensor G5 chipset (codenamed Laguna). Additionally, the Pixel 10 series may come with 16GB of RAM, a significant upgrade from previous models.
The shift from Samsung to TSMC for the production of the next Tensor G5 chip marks a significant change for Google’s in-house developed chips. The databases obtained by Android Authority reveal details such as the Google part number, chip code name “loophole (LGA),” product type, packaging type, manufacturer, and the number of tests passed. TSMC is identified as the manufacturer, and the packaging technology, InFO POP, is exclusive to TSMC.
According to the report, Google is still testing the new chip, and the official launch is expected to be at least 16 months away, aligning with the Pixel 10 series release. The mention of 16GB of RAM in the database hints at a performance boost compared to current models. The move away from Samsung towards more control over Tensor chips signifies a potential improvement in performance and resolution of thermal issues that earlier Tensor-powered Pixel chips faced.
The current Tensor chips, including the upcoming Tensor G4 for the Pixel 9 series, are a collaborative effort between Google and Samsung. With Google taking more control over the development of its chips, similar to Apple’s approach with its A and M series chips, it could lead to enhanced performance and overall user experience. The future Pixel devices powered by the new Tensor G5 chip will provide a clearer picture of the improvements in action.
As we await the official release of the Pixel 10 series with the Tensor G5 chip manufactured by TSMC and featuring 16GB of RAM, tech enthusiasts are eager to see how these upgrades will enhance the performance and capabilities of Google’s flagship devices. Stay tuned for more updates on the Pixel 10 series and the advancements in Google’s chip development.
