According to sammobile reports, in the past two generations of products, Google has relied on Samsung to design and manufacture Tensor chips. There are rumors that Google may continue to work with its Korean partners to produce two more generations of Tensor processors.
According to some early reports, the Google Tensor G3 chip will be co-designed with Samsung’s System LSI arm and manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process. Some new information claims that starting with the Tensor G4, Google can design its chips completely in-house and manufacture them using TSMC’s 4nm process. For Tensor G5, Google can use TSMC’s 3nm process to manufacture.
However, there are some reports that although Google hopes to switch to TSMC’s 4nm process for Tensor G4, the cost is too high for Pixel, so Google will eventually turn to Samsung’s foundry, but the news did not specify what process Tensor G4 uses (Samsung The foundry previously launched the 3nm GAA process).
Revegnus broke the news that the Tensor G3 chip will adopt the “1+4+4” nine-core design. The attached information is as follows:
1 x 3.30GHz Cortex-X3 core
Four 2.60GHz Cortex-A715 cores
Four 2.20GHz-2.30GHz Cortex-A510 cores
