Overview

  • Google has secured a three-to-five-year manufacturing deal with TSMC for its Tensor chips, covering the Pixel 10 series through the Pixel 14 lineup in 2029.
  • The shift from Samsung follows yield challenges with Samsung’s 3nm GAA process that underpinned earlier Tensor chip production.
  • The Tensor G5 will be produced on TSMC’s N3E 3nm node, promising performance and efficiency gains over the 4nm Tensor G4.
  • The Pixel 10 lineup, expected in late 2025, is tipped to include four models—Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold—powered by the new Tensor G5.
  • Reports suggest the G5 will pair a CPU cluster of one Cortex-X4, five Cortex-A725 and two Cortex-A520 cores with Google’s custom TPU for enhanced AI capabilities.
