Google Pixel 10 It's not expected to launch until 2025, but it seems its development process has already begun. According to a report, its chipset – the alleged Tensor G5 – has reached the “tape out” stage, meaning its design process is complete and it can be sent for manufacturing. This development builds on previous speculation that the Tensor G5 would be completely customized by Google rather than being based on a Samsung Exynos SoC.
Google has completed the design process of the chipset for the Pixel 10 series
according to a Report According to Taiwan's Commercial Times, the design process of the Tensor G5 chipset is now complete and it is ready for manufacturing. This stage, known as “tape out,” is said to be crucial as it now allows the company to produce the chipset in the foundry and test it thoroughly.
The publication states that the California-based technology giant has struck a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) – this is the foundry that is expected to be responsible for its manufacturing. Since the design process has been completed, the chip can now be manufactured, ensuring that the chip can be fully realized. Google It will take about a year to test it for performance and efficiency – or improve it if necessary.
Tensor G5 It is said to be completely developed by Google, unlike the previous four generations which were based on the same. Exynos Samsung's chip. This exclusivity could not only enable the company to add features specific to the Pixel 10 series but also improve upon shortcomings of previous generations, especially when it comes to battery optimization and thermal management – two issues that have plagued Google's smartphones in recent times.
The next-generation Tensor G5 chip is expected to be manufactured using the following TSMC's The second-generation 3nm node (N3E), which further simplifies the initial N3B process. A smaller chip size typically results in smaller components, which is claimed to provide better power efficiency. Also, this smaller size allows fabricators to integrate more transistors, increasing its performance potential for computing tasks.
This chip is expected to launch with the Google Pixel 10 series next year. Pixel 9 The series, which is set to launch at the Made by Google event on August 13, is speculated to get the Tensor G4 chipset under the hood, which will still be based on a Samsung Processor.
