BREAKING: Google is developing its own custom architecture for future Tensor chips
Google already has its own custom architecture called 'Cypress' but it is basically for Axion processors for datacenters.
But now, Google is also working on a custom CPU core called 'Orion' that will debut with future Tensor chips, atleast 'after' the Tensor G6. Interestingly, Google is even testing some tensor chipsets clocked at 5.1GHz & manufactured on a 3nm node, likely TSMC.
Coming to the Tensor G6, it will power the Pixel 11 series & is codenamed as 'Malibu'. Although other SoCs will already be built on 2nm chip design in 2026, Tensor G6 will still be manufactured on 3nm node (N3P) by TSMC .
CPU:
• 1x Cortex- X930
• 6x Cortex- A730
SLC: 4MB
RAM: LPDDR5X
So, Tensor G6 will be a '7-core' configuration SoC
GPU:
Don't expect Google to ditch PowerVR GPU quite soon. Tensor G6 will have an IMG EXT GPU, having 3 CU (compute units) running at 1100Mhz. It will support virtualization & ray tracing, both.
