Google's Pixel Watch 5 might be getting a custom Google Tensor chip

The first gen Pixel Watch was based on the old Exynos 9110, while the Pixel Watch 2 and 3 use Qualcomm's fresher Snapdragon Wear 5100. And now, thanks to a leak published by Android Authority, it has been revealed what Google's plans are for future models.

Apparently, Google plans to introduce a Watch based on its own Tensor processor codenamed 'NPT' (presumably 'Newport') in 2026. The architecture of the cores of this chip consists of 1x Arm Cortex-A78 and 2x Arm Cortex-A55.

The leaked document is dated early 2023, so things are still subject to change. While the 4th generation of the Pixel Watch is also likely to be equipped with a Qualcomm processor.
