Google’s Pixel phones have made great efforts in AI technology in recent years, bringing a series of exclusive software features. However, performance has always been one of the obvious weaknesses of Pixel phones. The Tensor chip created by Google and Samsung has obvious performance compared to Qualcomm, Apple and even MediaTek. gap. According to the latest news, Google is expected to get assistance from TSMC in two years to close the gap.
Revegnus, a tipster, revealed in a latest article that Google expects the Pixel 9 to be released next year to use the Tensor G4 chip produced in cooperation with Samsung. There is only a small chance that TSMC will be responsible for it. In addition, the Tensor G4 chip is regarded as a slightly upgraded version of the previous generation G3, implying that the performance upgrade of Pixel 9 is limited.
The news also pointed out that Google’s truly fully independent chip will have to wait until the Tensor G5 released in 2025. At that time, it will no longer borrow Samsung technology and will switch to TSMC’s N3E process. Originally, Google hoped to achieve this goal by 2024, but it was ultimately delayed for some reasons.
With TSMC’s chip process technology, Google is expected to make up for Pixel’s long-standing performance disadvantage. Although the current latest generation Tensor G3 chip has better running scores than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the second half of 2022, it is significantly behind this year’s mainstream Android flagships. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
