Currently, most smartphone manufacturers use MediaTek chips, not Qualcomm. But there are also brands like Apple, who implement their own custom chipsets in their devices Again, Samsung treads two boats in this regard. That is, in addition to custom chips, they also choose products from other chip companies. One advantage of custom chipsets, however, is that it allows fine tuning between software and hardware, which helps deliver better performance. As Apple has achieved with their iPhone. US tech giant Google has taken a similar approach. They offer in-house Tensor processor in Pixel series phones. And now a new report claims that the next-gen Google Pixel 9 will feature the Tensor G4 chipset, which promises improved heat and power management.
Google Tensor G4 may have better heat and power management
Google is expected to launch the Pixel 9 series of smartphones with the Tensor G4 processor later this year. All the reports that have already surfaced about these phones, indicate that the G4 chip will offer improved heat and power management. This will keep the phone cool for long periods of use and provide better battery life. Also, it is rumored that the Tensor G4 will be manufactured by Samsung on a 4nm process.
Early reports also suggest that the Tensor G4 processor will offer modest upgrades over the current generation G3. But the Tensor G5 processor, which is set to launch next year, is going to be a game-changer, which is expected to significantly improve the Pixel 10 series. This will be Google’s first “true” custom-designed Tensor chip, which Google will have a major role in developing. Increased control over hardware and software integration will deliver a highly optimized Android experience.
And, this move will bring Google closer to Apple’s level of vertical integration. However, one should not come to any conclusion about Tensor G5 and Google Pixel 10 right now, as it is slated to launch later next year. However, the fact that the Google Pixel 9 series will deliver better performance than expected is quite promising news.
