The G5 Tensor For Pixel 10 Will Be Produced By TSMC

JAKARTA Tensors, special processors for Pixel phones, have been produced by Samsung's silicon division since the first generation of releases. So far, processors for Google-made phones have had no constraints or problems. Although production is running very well, some components of the Tensor are starting to lag behind, such as the thermal part and its efficiency. With some of these shortcomings, Google seems to want to switch to another manufacturer of chipsets. Based on the Android Authority report, the G5 tensor for Pixel 10 will be produced by TSMC, the largest semiconductor manufacturer in Taiwan. Most likely, the Google partnership and Samsung's silicon division will end after the Pixel 9 release. This information was revealed after the chip forwarding manifest for the Tensor G5 sample was revealed in the trading database. Although not clearly outlined in the description, Google used the LGA code which is believed to lead to Laguna Beach. Lagoon Beach represents another designation or codename for the G5 Tensor. The use of this code name is not something new because Google uses Whitecapel (WHI) for the first generation Tensor and Zuma Pro (ZPR) for the fourth generation. In addition to the existence of code names, the description in the manifest mentions TSMC and InFO POP, exclusive packaging technology for TSMC. It is therefore certain that the Tensor G5 for Pixel 10 will be produced by TSMC.

The latest finding from the manifest shows that the exporter is Google which is located in Taiwan, while the importer is the Tessolve Semiconductor in India. It seems that Google is dismantling the processor that Samsung had worked on. So far, Pixel is one of the Android devices with advanced features, but the processor creation is still below standard. After being produced by TSMC, the TSMC will probably experience many improvements compared to before.
