Google's Tensor G6 Chip Reportedly to Feature TSMC's 2nm Process
Reports suggest Google may be the first customer to utilize TSMC's new 2 nanometer process for its Tensor G6 chip in the upcoming Pixel 11 series.
Google may become the first company to utilize Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) new 2 nanometer process. The tech giant is reportedly set to integrate this advanced process into its upcoming Tensor G6 chip, designed for the Pixel 11 smartphone lineup.
The anticipated launch in mid-August would position Google ahead in chip manufacturing advancements. Traditionally, Apple has been the primary early adopter of TSMC's latest processes. This established pattern appears to be shifting, with Google set to introduce its new Tensor G6 chip with the Pixel 11 series launch in August.
Apple typically unveils its new chips in September during its fall hardware event. Concurrently, Qualcomm is expected to reveal its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip on August 22. MediaTek is also slated to introduce its next-generation mobile processor, possibly named Dimensity 9600, in the third quarter, potentially using TSMC's 2nm technology.
The mass production of TSMC's 2nm process has reportedly commenced in Taiwan. As more flagship smartphones adopt this cutting-edge manufacturing technology, TSMC is expected to be a major beneficiary of this industry trend.
