Google Pixel 11 to Feature Tensor G6 Chip, Codenamed Malibu, Using TSMC's 2nm Process

A few months ago, Google launched the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro models, both of which received fairly good reviews from the tech world. The earlier arrival of this flagship series raised questions about whether the search engine giant would also be releasing Android 15 earlier. However, as we all know, that didn't happen. We are now looking forward to the Pixel 10 series, which is rumored to bring major upgrades, especially internally, with a new Tensor G5 chip. Now, we have some details about the Pixel 11 and the Tensor G6 along with its codename.

The Google Pixel 10 will have major upgrades compared to the current models as the company is planning to switch to TSMC for chip production. Currently, Google uses Samsung as its chip supplier, but its manufacturing process has various problems. We have already witnessed the device throttling under load stress. By partnering with TSMC, Google aims to compete with its rivals using advanced chip manufacturing technology. TSMC is also the chip supplier for Apple, which is precisely why the company has been able to stay at the top.

The Tensor G5 and Tensor G6 chips have the codenames Laguna and Malibu, respectively. These codenames were spotted in recently updated AOSP code. While the Tensor G5 chip will see a significant performance boost, the G6 chip is speculated to be based on TSMC's 2nm process, resulting in better graphics computing performance. The chip will also improve energy efficiency, reducing device power consumption while boosting performance.

TSMC's 2nm process will deliver higher performance, lower power consumption, and smaller chip size. This means that the Pixel 11 will have more powerful performance, longer battery life, and a more compact design. Moreover, TSMC's manufacturing process is more mature, guaranteeing a higher yield, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the device.

For Google, partnering with TSMC is a wise decision. TSMC has extensive experience and advanced technology in chip manufacturing, which can help Google improve the competitiveness of its Pixel phones. We can expect the Pixel 11 to deliver unprecedented performance and experience.

It's important to note that the information about the Pixel 11 and Tensor G6 is still in its early stages, and specific details have yet to be confirmed. However, these reports indicate that Google is investing heavily in its future Pixel phones, focusing on offering more powerful performance and a better user experience. We look forward to more official news about the Pixel 11 and Tensor G6.
