Google's New "custom" Tensor SoC might be just an unreleased Exynos
Google’s New “custom” Tensor SoC:
Google officially confirmed that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro coming this fall are going to be powered by a Google custom-designed chipset called TENSOR SoC, speculation has been rampant about the very fact that Samsung’s fabs would be manufacturing it.
That’s not huge news in itself, but today’s rumor just could be, if it pans out. It seems Tensor possibly renaming/rebranding an unreleased new Exynos SoC that Samsung has been performing on for quite a year, the Exynos 9855, which also goes by another codename: Whitechapel. that’s an equivalent codename because the one Google uses internally for Tensor.
This SoC was apparently developed at an equivalent time because the one codenamed Exynos 9925, which can find itself being marketed as Exynos 2200 next year when it launches within the Galaxy S22 line – this is often the one which will sport AMD’s RDNA2 GPU.
Given the inner selection, the Google new Tensor/Whitechapel/Exynos 9855 comes across as closer to the Exynos 9840 – which you’ll know by its commercially marketed name of Exynos 2100. this is often the SoC inside the Galaxy S21 family in some markets. So, maybe logically, expect Google’s chip to rate in performance somewhere in between the Exynos 2100 and therefore the upcoming Exynos 2200.
That’s excellently installed with the discharge schedules of those three lines – Exynos 2100 in early 2021, Tensor in late 2021, Exynos 2200 in early 2022. If all of this seems to be true, then Samsung seems to possess had a way more important contribution to the Tensor project than Google would have you ever believe.
It surely doesn’t seem to be just a fab for it, and it looks like that Google and Samsung are working together on its development from the start.
