- Google Pixel 10 sequence is more likely to be powered by Tensor chips made by TSMC and never Samsung.
- New obtained database info by Android Authority seemingly confirms the Tensor G5 (Laguna codenamed) chipset producers.
- Additionally, the Pixel 10 sequence may lastly characteristic 16GB of RAM as effectively.
While the Pixel 9 is the subsequent anticipated sequence from Google, new info already gives thrilling particulars about the successor Pixel 10 sequence, particularly the chipset that will probably be powering these fashions.
It was rumored that Google is ditching Samsung for its in-house developed Tensor G5 chip, which seemingly powers the Pixel 10 sequence. However, new findings from Android Authority point out that TSMC will probably be producing the upcoming Tensor G5 chip and never Samsung.

The publication obtained publicly obtainable commerce databases that add proof to the earlier predicted rumors. The databases point out the corporations that ordered items—Google (as Shipper) and Tessolve Semiconductor (as Consignee) are talked about—and the description of the items gives us away some extra particulars.
The description damaged down by the publication reveals the Google half quantity, chip’s code identify “laguna (LGA),” items’ sort, packing sort, producer, and the variety of checks the talked about chipset has handed. TSMC is evidently talked about as the producer, and the packaging know-how is InFO POP, which is believed to be related solely with TSMC.

As famous by the Android Authority report, the different parameters talked about point out that Google remains to be testing the new chip, and it’s anticipated to be at the least 16 months away from the official launch, which aligns with the Pixel 10 sequence lineup. The database additional mentions the RAM capability of 16GB, which is an attention-grabbing detail to stay up for as it’s a important bump from the present mannequin’s RAM capability.
For the uninitiated, the present Tensor chips, together with the upcoming Tensor G4 powering the Pixel 9 sequence, are co-developed by Google and Samsung, which has been the case since the first Tensor chip in 2021.
Parting methods from Samsung suggests Google is gaining extra management over its Tensor chips, just like what Apple does with A and M sequence chips. It additionally implies that the present thermal issues on Tensor-powered Pixel chips would possibly ultimately be resolved and will result in higher total efficiency, though we’ll have to attend to see these chips in motion to gauge the enhancements.
