Google's Tensor Chips: Samsung vs TSMC, Upgrades and Price Hikes

Samsung Foundry has reportedly secured a contract to manufacture Google's next-generation Tensor G4 processor, which will be used in upcoming Pixel phones. The Tensor G4 will be fabricated using the SF4P (third-generation 4nm) process, offering improved performance and efficiency compared to its predecessor. While Google had initially considered switching to TSMC for chip fabrication, the deal reportedly fell through due to low yield. Samsung's success in securing contracts for advanced semiconductor chip processes, including Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips, indicates its lead over TSMC in the 3nm process family.

Google's Custom Pixel Chip Delayed Until 2025, But Promises Improvement

Google's plans to introduce a fully self-designed Tensor chip for its future Pixel phones have been delayed, with the first chip now expected in 2025. The chip, codenamed "Laguna," was originally slated for 2024 but faced prioritization conflicts within Google's engineering department. The delay means that Google's Pixel phones will continue to face performance issues and chip-related problems. Additionally, the new chip will be based on TSMC's 3nm fabrication process, which could result in improved performance and power efficiency, but Apple's dominance in 3nm chip orders may pose a supply chain challenge for Google.
