JAKARTA - Google has officially made TSMC the main partner in their Tensor chip production for the next few years. According to a recent report from DigiTimes, TSMC will continue to produce Tensor chips by at least 2029. This partnership will last at least until the launch of the Pixel 14. Samsung, which was previously Google's partner in the production of the Tensor chip, is now confirmed to be out of the image.
The move will begin with the presence of TSMC's first Tensor chip to debut in the Pixel 10 series later this year. The chips are expected to be named the G5 Tensor and become the mainstay of the latest Pixel line: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Google's decision to switch to TSMC does not come without reason. TSMC is known as industry leader in terms of chip fabrication technology, particularly on thermal efficiency and performance. The G5 tensor is rumored to be using the TSMC's 3nm fabrication process of the same technology used in Apple's high-end processors, Qualcomm, and MediaTek.
Users and industry observers are also looking forward to the performance of this TSMC version of the TSMC version of the Tensor chip, with the hope of being able to compete with big competitors in terms of performance and power efficiency. The G5 tensor is predicted to bring a big increase compared to the previous generation.
Samsung Stays Memories
Previously, the Tensor chip was produced by Samsung. Although the Tensor G4 shows significant improvements in terms of operational temperatures thanks to the use of the Exynos 5400 modem, its overall performance has not been able to match Snapdragon or Dimensity in terms of efficiency and battery life.

This full transition to TSMC shows Google's seriousness in improving the quality and competitiveness of its hardware products. Not only in device form, but also at the level of silicon which is at the core of the user experience.
Pixel 10 And Tensor G5 Launch
TSMC's G5 Tensor chip will be officially introduced in conjunction with the launch of the Pixel 10 series later this year. Google has revealed designs from the entire Pixel 10 line since last March, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold which is their flagship foldable device. Not only that, but the official wallpaper from Pixel 10 has also been leaked to the public recently.
With Google joining the TSMC list of exclusive clients with Apple and Qualcomm, competition in the realm of premium mobile processors is certain to get hotter. We'll see how the Tensor G5 will prove its worth on the flagship smartphone warground.
