Overview
- Tech outlets report a Telegram leak from MysticLeaks claiming Google’s next chip is internally called LaJolla, expected to align with the Pixel 12 series.
- The LaJolla label fits Google’s recent coastal naming run, following Laguna for Tensor G5 and Malibu for the reported Tensor G6, which adds credibility to the claim.
- No technical details for Tensor G7 are confirmed beyond the codename, and talk of upgrades to the AI engine, camera pipeline, or security remains speculative.
- The nearer release, Pixel 11, is expected to use Tensor G6 that reports say will move to TSMC’s 2nm process with a new Titan M3 security chip, though Google has not confirmed this.
- Google’s Tensor chips have stressed on‑device AI and security over top benchmark scores, and some buyers have criticized Pixel pricing as rivals from Qualcomm and Apple post faster raw performance.
