Custom TSMC Silicon: Google Pixel 10 Pro Leaks Detailed
Supply chain filings from TSMC confirm that Google is transitioning its Tensor chip manufacturing process for the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro. At Android People (androidpeople.in), we examine what the shift to TSMC 3nm N3E node technology means for battery thermal performance.
TSMC 3nm N3E Process and Custom Packaging
Unlike previous Tensor chips produced by Samsung Foundry, the Tensor G5 is designed fully in-house by Google’s gChip team and fabricated on TSMC’s 3nm N3E node. This node delivers a 30% reduction in power consumption and eliminates thermal throttling under heavy camera workloads.
Upgraded TPU for On-Device Gemini Processing
The Tensor G5 integrates a next-gen Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) tailored for running local Gemini Nano models, enabling real-time video processing and instant voice translation without cloud latency.
