📹 New leak on Google's Tensor G5 and G6 chips suggests improved process nodes

For a year now, there have been reports that Google will drop Samsung's processes in favor of TSMC for its fifth-generation Tensor processors, and the chips themselves will be developed entirely in-house. And now, thanks to Android Authority's source, it has been revealed exactly what kind of process nodes will be used in the Tensor G5 and G6.

Google's Tensor G5 (codename “laguna”), which will power next year's Pixel 10 series, will be manufactured on TSMC's N3E 3nm class node. This will definitely be a significant leap forward over Samsung's 4nm class 4LPE node used in the Tensor G4, both in terms of efficiency and performance.

The Tensor G6 (codename “malibu”) that the Pixel 11 (2026) will likely be equipped with will be manufactured on TSMC's N3P node, which is rumored to be used for Apple's A19 chip. This is still a 3nm class process node, but compared to N3E it could offer improvements in terms of performance or power usage.
