Let’s say you’re a smartphone manufacturer aiming to develop a new model. You have two options: partner with an established chipmaker like Qualcomm or MediaTek, or follow the path of Apple by designing your own custom chipset. This allows for tighter integration between software and hardware, potentially leading to better performance, a strategy successfully employed by Apple for their iPhones.

Google has taken a similar approach, developing its in house Tensor processors. Recent information suggests the Pixel 9 will feature the Tensor G4 chipset, promising improved heat and power management for an enhanced user experience. Here are the details…

Google Tensor G4 could have better heat and power management

Google is set to release the Pixel 9 smartphones later this year, featuring the Tensor G4 chip. Recent leaks suggest the G4 will offer improved heat and power management, potentially leading to cooler operation and better battery life. Rumors also indicate the G4 will be manufactured by Samsung on a 4nm process.

Early reports also suggest the Tensor G4 will offer modest upgrades over the G3. The spotlight is really on the Tensor G5, which promises to enhance the Pixel 10 series significantly. This will be Google’s first “true” custom-designed Tensor chip, with greater in-house development. Increased control over hardware and software integration should deliver a highly optimized Android experience.

This move brings Google closer to Apple’s level of vertical integration. However, it is still too early to talk about Tensor G5 and Pixel 10. Nevertheless, knowing that the Pixel 9 series will deliver performance beyond expectations is quite sufficient for us technology enthusiasts.
