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 walks in two boats in this case.
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.
GoogleTensor 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.
