Google's second-generation Tensor custom chips may continue to be manufactured using Samsung's 4nm process

Update time : 2022-06-06 09:46:28

At the I/O2022 developer conference, Google pointed out that the new flagship Pixel 7 series will be equipped with Google's second-generation SoC chip Tensor, which will be handed over to Samsung for production again, and mass production is expected to start in June.

Korean media D daily reported that Google's second-generation SoC chip Tensor will use Samsung's 4nm process and is expected to start mass production in June, while industry sources say the new flagship Pixel 7 series will debut in October.
The original Tensor processor, first used in the Pixel 6 series, launched in October 2021, and was also manufactured on Samsung's 5nm process. The mid-range Pixel 6a, which is expected to be launched in July this year, will also use the first-generation Tensor processor. Google may improve machine learning, photos, voice recognition and other functions to increase its advantages.
Why might Samsung be the sole supplier of the second-generation Tensor processor? Wccftech speculates that there are many factors involved, and Qualcomm's selection of Samsung may also be a consideration, as an earlier report mentioned that TSMC may charge a fee.
So Samsung may also offer Google the same enticing deal on the condition that it doesn't give TSMC any orders, but the report doesn't confirm this. On the other hand, as TSMC's largest customer, Apple already occupies most of the company's production capacity. And Google, which is relatively small, naturally lacks the confidence to negotiate prices and compete for production capacity.
