Leaked promos for the Pixel 9 series show Google calling the Tensor G4 AP „game changing.“
We all know that it won’t be until next year’s Pixel 10 series when Google’s fully customized Tensor G5 application processor (AP) will debut. Not only did Google design the chipset from scratch, but it will be manufactured by the world’s largest foundry, TSMC, using its 3nm process node. Previous Tensor chips, including this year’s Tensor G4 AP powering the upcoming Pixel 9 line, were based on Samsung Exynos SoCs and built by Samsung Foundry.
While next year’s Tensor G5 might be considered a big deal, for some reason a leaked promotional image for the Pixel 9 Pro calls the Tensor G4 „game changing.“ The Tensor G5 has reached the tape-out stage which means that the design of the chipset has been completed and it is now up to the foundry to manufacture the component.
