Google's Tensor G5 processor has been repeatedly reported to be manufactured by TSMC and is expected to come out in 2025, mainly for the Pixel 10 series. But according to the latest news, there is strong evidence that Samsung will not be responsible for manufacturing the Tensor G5.
Google has been exploring and improving its chip technology since the launch of its first in-house chip, Tensor, in 2021.The introduction of Tensor G5 marks Google's further penetration into the field of chip design. It is reported that Tensor G5 will use TSMC's latest InFO POP packaging technology, which is the industry's first 3D wafer-level fan-out packaging technology, and is expected to significantly improve the performance and energy efficiency of the chip.
The Tensor G5 processor, as Google's first fully self-designed chip, carries Google's expectations for performance improvements in its own products. By working closely with TSMC, Google was able to utilize TSMC's advanced manufacturing process and packaging technology to bring higher performance and lower power consumption to the Tensor G5 processor.
As a leader in semiconductor manufacturing, TSMC's advanced manufacturing processes and packaging technologies have been highly regarded by the industry. In manufacturing the Tensor G5 processor, TSMC utilized the latest InFO POP packaging technology, which effectively improves the performance and reduces the physical size of the chip. TSMC also utilizes the N3E process to ensure that the Tensor G5 processor achieves industry-leading performance and stability.
