Essential information
- An article from an international publication asserts that Google is aiming to enhance its Tensor G6 SoC utilizing a 2nm process, instead of a “more cutting-edge” 3nm.
- Information is scarce (as anticipated); nevertheless, the Tensor G6 is expected to debut in the Pixel 11 series in 2026.
- Speculations from late 2024 suggested that the Tensor G6 could incorporate improved AI capabilities and health-oriented features for users.
A speculation suggests Google is keen on swiftly boosting the performance potential of its proprietary chip through another production method alteration.
This was emphasized by Dan Nystedt on X after a Chinese publication released the report (via 9to5Google). The announcement reiterates Google’s prior transition to TSMC after collaborating with Samsung for its Tensor chip development. The purported source of the publication claims Google will shift to a 2nm process for the Tensor G6.
This is a rather nascent rumor, given that we are probably a year (or longer) away from Google unveiling the Tensor G6. However, what is clear is that we anticipate this chip will drive the Pixel 11 series in 2026.
