After announcing its in-house Tensor chipset for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 1 Pro smartphones, it looks like Google will build larger processors for its laptops and tablets as well. Nikkei Asia, citing three sources familiar with the development, stated that Google plans to introduce new chips for XNUMX laptops and tablets running on its Google Chrome operating system. Supposedly, Google is buoyed by Apple's success with its custom MXNUMX chips. In addition to this, companies like Amazon, Fb, Microsoft, Tesla, Baidu and Alibaba Group Holding work on building their semiconductors to power their cloud and electronic services. Companies are turning to the idea of developing their custom chips as it helps them embed their functionality into those chips for specific purposes. Essentially, it helps with the seamless integration of software and hardware.
Tokens based on ARM plans
"The new chips and mobile processors that Google is developing build on chip plans from Arm, the UK-based chip company controlled by Softbank whose intellectual property is used in more than XNUMX% of mobile devices in the world." planet," said Nikkei Asia. in your report. Smaller chips can bring more computing power to devices with limited or well-passive cooling designs, such as tablets, thin and light laptops, and mobile phones. In truth, it's no secret that Google has been creating its processor designs since the middle of the last decade. But most of the research has focused on the chipsets of its flagship Pixel phones for faster real-time computer processing for videos and photos and better AI-intensive mobile work. The Pixel XNUMX series will also feature Google's own mobile silicon, known as Whitechapel Insider. The Nikkei Asia report citing analysts claimed that it would cost about $XNUMX million to design a new chip on TSMC's XNUMX-nanometer process, while something built on the traditional XNUMX-nanometer process would cost only about $XNUMX million. According to reports, Google is also hiring chip engineers around the world, including Israel, India, and Taiwan.
