Google is reportedly working to develop Tensor G5 as self-developed chip and on TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process.
Google appears to be taking steps towards independent chip development as it’s said to be testing a “self-developed” Tensor chip in collaboration with Taiwanese company KYEC.
KYEC provides testing services for new chips headed to manufacturing in Taiwan. Google is reportedly buying equipment for testing these chips at KYEC, with tests starting around the middle of this year and increasing over time (via 9to5Google).
This development could mean Google is moving away from using Samsung’s processors for its Pixel phones.
