Google Tensor is featured extensively in the recent news, predominantly focusing on the G4 and G5 versions of the chip, both in connection with the upcoming Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 smartphones. Many reports express concerns about the seemingly minor upgrades in the G4 chip over its predecessor, the G3, with some insiders claiming that the G4 chip in the Pixel 9 will be almost no different. Despite this, Google refers to its upcoming Tensor G4 chip as 'game-changing', though without providing any specific benchmarking comparisons.
Interestingly, Tensor hardware is also being used outside Google, specifically by
Apple. There are multiple reports of Apple using Google's custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to train their AI models, fueling further development of Apple Intelligence. This collaboration takes Tensor hardware into new applications, expanding its relevance to wider fields of technology. Conversely, no specific information about Apple's future plans on using Tensor hardware is disclosed.
The discussions around Tensor G5 chip suggest the possible skipping of Pixel 9 in wait for the Pixel 10. Rumors abound that the Tensor G5 could be Google's first real in-house chip, with its design reported to be close to finalization at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
