Google chooses TSMC for Tensor G5 processor in next

Google has chosen TSMC over its long-term partner Samsung to manufacture its self-developed Tensor G5 processor for Google’s next-generation Pixel 10 series smartphones, according to US media outlet Android Authority. A shipping list of Google Tensor G5 samples has been exposed, which directly displays TSMC’s InFo-PoP packaging technology, the report revealed. Android Authority claimed that “LGA” in the list is an abbreviation for Tensor G5, specifically “Laguna Beach,” as Google may use abbreviations to conceal its activities. Companies must declare the contents and value of goods when importing or exporting overseas, and some regions share this information with third parties, which eventually gets listed in various databases, the report explained.
