The Information claimed on Thursday that Alphabet's Google has postponed the availability of a wholly bespoke CPU for its Pixel smartphones until 2025, citing two individuals familiar with the situation.


According to the story, Google had planned to introduce the chip, internally dubbed Redondo, next year to replace the semicustom chips it presently manufactures with Samsung Electronics.


According to The Information, the tech company would also shift production of the Tensor chips from Samsung to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC).


Apple and Nvidia are among the corporations that use the world's largest contract chipmaker.


Google did not immediately reply to a request for comment from Reuters, while TSMC declined to comment.


According to The Information, Google will continue with Samsung for another year and wait until 2025 to deliver a wholly unique design processor, internally code-named Laguna.


The Laguna chip will be built using TSMC's 3-nanometer manufacturing process, which is presently the most sophisticated chipmaking technology in the world, according to the report.


Google's Tensor G2 SoC powers the new Pixel 7a and Pixel Fold smartphones, which were unveiled in May at the company's I/O event. The Tensor G2 SoC was also included in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro versions from last year. The Tensor G3 dubbed "Zuma" is rumoured to power Google's future Pixel 8 series devices. According to a recent leak, it will include 9 Arm cores and 10 GPU cores in a 1+4+4 configuration. One 3.00GHz Cortex-X3 core, four 2.45GHz Cortex-A715 cores, and four 2.15GHz Cortex-A510 cores might be included.
