↘ Google's Tensor Ventures and its Bold Move into Processor Chip Market

The arena of Tensor chips and related projects has seen a slew of developments. Notably, Google's involvement has sparked mixed emotions, with reports concerning overheating issues and projected performance lags behind competitors. Leaked documents reveal several insights into the chip’s development. Reports suggest the Tensor G5 and G6 chips may not deliver significant performance boosts, despite being power-efficient. Furthermore, Google might introduce a Tensor chip into the Pixel Watch 5 and the Pixel Flagships, phasing out Qualcomm SoCs. Various leaks indicate significant enhancements coming to the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11.

A Tensor network approach managed to achieve a record yottabyte compression in solving neutron transport equations. However, some critics deem Google's Tensor project a failure, citing financial underperformance. On a positive note, the company plans to switch to TSMC 3nm and 2nm technologies for future Tensor chip production, supposedly improving efficiency and performance. In anticipation of this, Google and TSMC are reportedly eyeing a long-term partnership. Alternatively, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi also plans to develop its own chips by 2025, following the Tensor lead.

There are also stories around the development of other versions of the Tensor chip. Reports suggest a lower-end Tensor G6 chip could be for the budget-friendly Pixel 11a. Industry insiders propose that benchmark results may not accurately reflect the chip’s real-world performance. Google executives assert that Tensor chips were not designed to beat specific benchmarks but to improve user experience. Performance notwithstanding, Tensor chips are reportedly crucial for AI and gaming features in future products.
