Google in pole position to use TSMC's 2 nanometers: Pixel 11 aims to impress the market

The 2 nm manufacturing process from TSMC is set to revolutionize the market with Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple preparing new chips for high-end smartphones and tablets expected to hit the market in the coming months. However, the first company to utilize TSMC's 2 nm process will be Google with its new Google Tensor G6 chip, which will also include a new modem feature. Here are the latest details.

Google aims to impress with its new Tensor

The Tensor G6 will be used in the new Google Pixel 11 smartphones, set to launch in August, with a lineup consisting of four variants. This chip will be the first to utilize TSMC's 2 nm manufacturing process, which will ensure significant improvements in performance and efficiency.

Google beats Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple to the punch, as they will launch their 2 nm chips in September.

Samsung has already launched its first 2 nm chip (the Exynos 2600), which is, however, produced by the Korean company that is not yet able to achieve the same levels as TSMC.

It’s also noteworthy that the Tensor G6 will signal the arrival of another innovation. In fact, Google will not be using a Samsung Exynos modem but will opt for the MediaTek M90, which should provide superior performance along with support for satellite connectivity.

To test the new Tensor G6, we will need to wait for the second half of August and the arrival of the Pixel 11 on the market.
