Google's new Pixel 11 chip might not be 2nm, after all
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung has initiated 2nm chip production with its Exynos 2600, raising expectations for Google’s Tensor G6 to also adopt 2nm technology.
- Contrary to rumors, a Google VP revealed in an interview that the Tensor G6 is actually built on an upgraded 3nm process, not 2nm as anticipated.
- The transition to finer fabrication nodes like 2nm is significant for performance and marketing, with Apple and Qualcomm also expected to launch 2nm chips soon.
- Google’s Tensor G6 remaining at 3nm means it missed the opportunity to be the first 2nm chip in smartphones, a notable milestone in the industry.
- Google has yet to officially confirm this information, and further details on the decision behind the fabrication choice are awaited.
