Google Tensor is built on the Tensor Processing Unit that has done wonders for Google in the data center and cloud computing spaces.
Yesterday, Google said it will be building its own processors for the Pixel 6 smartphone, built on the Tensor chips it already has for the data center space. This sparked rumours that the company is abandoning Qualcomm forever, but that might not be the case. According to a report by CNBC, the American chip giant said that the companies will be working together going forward, though it didn’t say exactly what kind of partnership the two companies will have. Qualcomm said it will be working closely with Google for current and future “products” based on the “Snapdragon platform”. The chip Google announced, called Google Tensor, is essentially a take on the Tensor Processing Unit, which Google built for implementation in cloud computing.
