(Pocket-lint) - Evidence has emerged that Google is already processing and investigating the adjacent procreation of Tensor chip, which means adjacent year's Pixel volition apt again beryllium powered by a Google-made platform.
References to the 2nd procreation Tensor were recovered wrong app codification connected the Pixel 6 by 9to5Google, on with the code-name 'Cloudripper'.
Rather than being the code-name of the processor itself, it's claimed this is the code-name of the developer committee it's installed on. However, the publication has besides seen grounds that a spot with exemplary fig 'GS201' is connected to this board.
Given that the chipset successful the Pixel 6 is numbered 'GS101', it seems precise apt that the 'GS201' is the 2nd gen Tensor processor.
Since the Pixel 7 motorboat is simply a bully 12 months away, nary different details person been recovered connected the adjacent gen mentation of Tensor, lone that it exists and that means it'll apt beryllium what powers the telephone Google launches this clip adjacent year.
It volition travel arsenic a daze to nary 1 that Google is already moving connected a 2nd procreation variant of its home-baked Tensor processor. It made a large woody astir the information it present has its ain level during the Pixel 6 motorboat event, and intelligibly believes it's the aboriginal of its ain marque phones.
Given the clip it takes to design, tweak and optimise components earlier they past request to beryllium acceptable for manufacturing and assembly successful the last product, we'd beryllium much amazed if the institution wan't already moving connected the Tensor Gen 2.
