Google had planned to release the chip internally codenamed Redondo next year to replace the chip currently designed in cooperation with Samsung, according to sources. However, because "things didn't go according to plan", Google has decided to continue working with Samsung for another year and wait until 2025 to launch a new fully customized chip, which is internally codenamed Laguna.

In addition, sources also revealed that Google also plans to transfer the production of Tensor chips from Samsung to TSMC, while Laguna chips will be based on TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process, which is currently the most advanced chip manufacturing process in the world.

CTOnews.com previously reported that some design parameters of Google's third-generation self-developed processor Tensor G3 were exposed early last month, it is reported that the chip will use a unique 9-core CPU architecture, GPU will also add ray tracing function.
