When rumors started that Google could launch its own chipset for Pixels, there was a lot of excitement. Like iPhones, the chips could be better optimized for Pixel phones and offer superior performance in the process. That obviously didn’t happen, but it sounds like the Google Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 has the best chance of fulfilling those expectations.
According to a report from Business Korea, Google may be ditching Samsung and heading to TSMC to manufacture its own chipsets. This is reportedly due to problems manufacturing 3nm chips at Samsung’s foundry. The biggest issues are said to be low yields and high power consumption of the chips — meaning stock will dry up fast and battery life won't be great.
