Samsung reportedly has started testing the third-gen Google Tensor for next year’s Pixel 8
The first generation Google Tensor chipset can be found inside the three Pixel 6 handsets: the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the mid-range Pixel 6a. The sequel to Google’s first in-house chip, the second-generation Tensor, will be powering the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro which are expected to be unveiled in October. And the Pixel Tablet, set for a 2023 release, will have the Tensor 2 or the Tensor 3 under the hood.
The first generation Google Tensor chipset
It’s not known what Google’s plans are long-term for the production of the Tensor line. Google wanted to design its own chip to give it more AI capabilities for the Google Pixel phone line. This way the company wouldn’t be hindered by the capabilities available with chips “purchased off the shelf.” Over time, we’d expect Google to have a bigger say in the design and manufacturing of the component.
The first-generation Google Tensor chip features two ARM Cortex-X1 performance cores (2.80GHz), two ARM Cortex-A76 cores (2.25GHz), and four ARM Cortex-A55 cores (1.80GHz). We could see the third-generation Google Tensor chip debut on next year’s Pixel 8 series.
