According to a new report, Google has locked in production of its Tensor chipsets for Pixel phones through at least the Pixel 14 generation over the “next 3 to 5 years.”
The first TSMC-made Tensor chip is set to debut later this year in the Pixel 10 series, but Google has apparently already locked in production for the next few generations.
Digitimes reports that Google has locked in plans for Tensor chip production with TSMC over the next “3 to 5 years,” with the “Pixel 14” being specifically mentioned (via @Jukanlosreve).
Recently, it was reported that when senior executives from Google’s US headquarters visited Taiwan a few months ago, they visited TSMC to discuss the shipment of mobile phone SoCs. The cooperation between the two parties will last for many years, at least until the stage of the new Pixel 14, which is about 3 to 5 years later.
The report also reiterates that Tensor chips made by TSMC and used in Pixel 10 will be produced on a 3nm process, as expected.
Google previously nailed down testing facilities in Taiwan for its next-gen chip, was rumored to be using a MediaTek modem, and was tipped to be using a fully custom ISP for Tensor G5.
