Sources say Google Tensor G5 chip will have customized CPU and GPU,G4 will only be a "small upgrade"

CTOnews.com, October 27 (Xinhua) Google's current Pixel 8 / Pro phone is equipped with a Tensor G3 chip, but CTOnews.com has previously reported that the performance of the Tensor G3 is poor. Although the chip has a new CPU architecture, its performance is closer to the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 than its current flagship chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

According to Conner, a whistleblower on the X platform, Google's next-generation Tensor G4 is expected to be only a "small update" and Google will put a "major upgrade" in the Tensor G5 chip.

Conner claims that Google will design the CPU and GPU of the Tensor G5 chip, which will be produced by TSMC and used in Pixel 10 phones.

▲ Picture Source Conner posted a post on the X platform, but if the whistleblower's news is true, Google's change of foundry will increase the manufacturing cost of the Tensor G5, which will make Google cut model profits or pass the related costs on to customers.
