On July 6, according to a report by the US technology blog 9to5google citing the technology media The Information, people familiar with the matter revealed that Google's self-developed chip for the Pixel smartphone, which was originally scheduled to be launched next year with the internal code name "Redondo", will be delayed. "Redondo" missed the deadline for trial production after cutting functions last year, and was only handed over to TSMC earlier this year. The report said "Redondo" will not be ready for mass production until 2024, and has been positioned as a test chip before the next generation of products.
Google's latest Pixel 7 series smartphones are powered by its own Tensor G2 chip, a semi-custom chip developed by Google and Samsung. Sources said Google had planned to release the chip, internally code-named Redondo, next year to replace the chip currently designed in partnership with Samsung. However, because "things didn't go according to plan," Google decided to continue working with Samsung for another year and wait until 2025 to launch a new fully custom chip, internally code-named Laguna. In addition, the source also revealed that Google also plans to transfer the production of the Tensor chip from Samsung to TSMC, and the Laguna chip will be based on TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process, which is currently the most advanced chip manufacturing process in the world. People familiar with the matter said today that Google's plan has been delayed by at least a year. Next year, Google will continue to work with Samsung until 2025 to launch this completely independent custom chip, internally codenamed "Laguna" (Tensor G5). At that time, Google will also abandon Samsung and transfer the foundry manufacturing task of this chip to TSMC. People familiar with the matter also said Laguna will use TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process, which is currently the world's most advanced manufacturing process. Google and TSMC have yet to comment on reports that the Tensor G4 did not switch to TSMC's 4nm manufacturing process in large part because of the high cost. According to Google's product roadmap, the company will release the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro flagship smartphones later this year, powered by the Tensor G3 chip. The chip was jointly designed by Google and Samsung's System LSI division and manufactured using Samsung's 4nm process. Next year, Google will release three Pixel 9 smartphones with Tensor G4 chips. In 2025, Google will launch the Pixel 10 series, and possibly a folding screen phone.
