The Tensor G4 chipset will energy subsequent 12 months’s Pixel 9 sequence. In accordance with tipster Revegnus (@Tech_Reve), the element will probably be manufactured by Samsung Foundry, not TSMC as initially rumored. Revegnus says that TSMC was provided the job by Google however refused it as a result of the job was too low quantity for the world’s largest foundry. So Samsung Foundry, prefer it did for the primary three Google Tensor SoCs, will probably be constructing the Tensor G4.
In accordance with Revegnus, the Tensor G4 will function a Cortex-X4 prime core, Cortex-A715 efficiency CPU cores, Cortex-A520 effectivity CPU cores, and Arm’s Immortalis-G715 GPU. The tipster says that he doesn’t but know what the precise configuration will probably be. He did say that it is going to be constructed on Samsung Foundry’s 4LPP+ course of node (which is similar course of node for use for the Exynos 2400) and is a slight enchancment from the 4LPP node that’s getting used for the Tensor G3.
Tipster reveals what to anticipate from subsequent 12 months’s Tensor G4 SoC
Whereas some would possibly say that Google’s use of Samsung Foundry for the Tensor G4 signifies that the corporate trusts that Samsung has cleaned up earlier yield points and might manufacture chips that will not overheat, the reality is that when it was turned down by TSMC, the place else might Google flip to? Intel might be a risk because it ramps up its contract foundry enterprise, nevertheless it simply began to mass-produce chips utilizing its 4nm node (though we should always word that Intel’s 4nm chips have a transistor density that tops Samsung’s at 4nm).
Nonetheless, Revegnus says that it is going to be Samsung Foundry churning out the Tensor G4 utility processor (AP) subsequent 12 months adopted by the TSMC-built Tensor G5 in 2025. We must wait till then to see if he was proper.
