Google unveiled the Pixel 11 collection smartphones a few days in the past, with the Tensor G6 inside. Whereas Google did not explicitly point out it wherever, the Tensor G6 was extensively believed to be a 2nm chip. Seems that is not the case.

This revelation comes from Google’s VP of {Hardware}, Peng Yu-Chun, who confirmed that the Tensor G6 inside all of the Pixel 11 collection smartphones relies on TSMC’s 3nm course of. Final yr’s Tensor G5 can be a 3nm chip.

Even when the Tensor G6 was based mostly on a 2nm course of, it would not have been the primary 2nm cellular chip. That crown goes to Samsung’s Exynos 2600 introduced final December.
That stated, whereas a 2nm course of has its advantages, the 3nm Tensor G6 is not with out its upgrades. Google says the Tensor G6 “delivers 50% extra TPU compute and an upgraded CPU compute delivers as much as 30% higher energy effectivity” in comparison with Tensor G5. How precisely that improves the real-world expertise stays to be seen once we take a look at the Pixel 11 collection ourselves.
