Samsung and Google are likely to part ways with Pixel smartphones in the near future.
Google is again using a Tensor chipset based on Samsung Exynos in the upcoming Pixel 8, but this partnership will likely end soon. Now there’s a new report straight out of South Korea that confirms previous rumors that Google and Samsung are going their separate ways.
Google is already switching to a Qualcomm chipset for the Pixel Watch 2, while the first generation still had an Exynos chipset. This change should also come with Pixel smartphones, but a little later The break should be with Tensor G5, which is on the Pixel 10.
TSMC should Become a new producer, even if some questions remain unanswered. If not from Samsung, where does the chip design come from? So does Google have its own solution, or are you buying a solution from somewhere else? That remains to be seen.
Exynos is currently very weak for its own Galaxy S series
So far, the Tensor chipset at heart (CPU) is based on the Samsung Exynos. Google extends the chipset with its own chips, for example for more security and for processing AI, ML etc. So far, however, the processor is a weak point, too slow and requiring too much power.
TSMC is currently making the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and is currently far superior to Samsung in terms of efficiency and performance, although the chips appear similarly powerful on the spec sheet. But how good or bad the manufacturing process is is very important.
We’ll see how good or bad Samsung is with the Exynos 2400 in the Tensor G3 in fall 2023 and possibly the Galaxy S24 in spring 2024. Until then, there’s no way around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. TSMC is very strong.
