The Exynos era is clearly over for Google’s Tensor chipset.
Google is planning a change to its chipset in the coming years and will leave Samsung to do it. This has been floating around the rumor mill for a long time and has become more concrete over the years. Although plans have shifted, they are still in focus. There is new information.
In these days should Google has handed over a “self-developed” version of one of its upcoming Tensor chipsets to service provider KYEC, which is based in Taiwan, where TSMC is also from. It was recently said that Google is switching from Samsung to TSMC to manufacture Tensor chipsets in the future. Important steps seem to be being taken now to achieve this.
A series of mid-year exams are planned. The upcoming Pixel 9 features the Tensor G4, which is a simple further development of the Tensor G3. Only the upcoming Tensor G5 will have a “own” Tensor chip for the first time and then from a different production (3 nm from TSMC). Everyone expects significantly more performance and efficiency from the new system.
Although there have been improvements, the third Tensor generation has also been criticized as power consumption is still too high and performance is not at the level of other high-end chipsets. Especially annoying with the Pixel 8 series as the price of the device has gone up to 200 euros.
