According to the information in The Information, the original plan called for Google to manufacture its first fully customized Pixel chipset by 2024 (more on that below).Instead of using the fully customized silicon for next year’s Pixel 9 line, Google will continue to do what it has been doing since 2021’s Pixel 6 series which means sticking with the partially customized chips it designs with Samsung.
