Google's Tensor G5 and G6 Chips to Transform Pixel Smartphones

The upcoming Tensor processors promise significant performance and efficiency improvements with new core configurations and advanced manufacturing processes.

Google's Tensor G5 and G6 processors will power the next-generation Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 smartphones, respectively.
The Tensor G5 will feature a 1+5+2 core configuration and is expected to use TSMC's 3nm N3E process, marking a shift from Samsung's previous fabrication.
The Tensor G6, slated for the Pixel 11, will incorporate a 1+6+1 core setup and utilize TSMC's upgraded 3nm N3P process for enhanced performance.
Both chips will integrate Imagination Technologies' GPUs, with the Tensor G5 supporting ray tracing and virtualization, a first for Google's processors.
These advancements aim to improve efficiency and performance, potentially allowing Google's Pixel phones to better compete with Apple's iPhones and other flagship devices.
