The Samsung Foundryz made the first four Google Tancer chips – G4 by G4 which was used in Pixel 6 by Pixel 9 series. Now the interior says that Google has turned into connection and the next five Pay Generations will be fabered by TSMC by G9, TSMC – this will be used in the Pixel 14 series in Pixel 10 (late this year).
According to the report, Samsung officials have been shocked to analyze what has been wrong and to give a chart to the potential ways of achieving the re -recovery.
In addition to Samsung’s Exynos section, Google was the last major chipset client to use Samsung Foundries. Qualcomm still uses it for occasional Snapdragon, but he likes Snapdragon 4 General 2 and 6 General 3 – everything else, especially flagship chips, have gone to TSMC.
Other companies like Nvidia used Samsung for GPU death, but moved many years ago at TSMC – a big exception of Nintendo Switch 2’s Tagra T239 chip, but it is a fabad on the old 8NM node.
So, what next? Google will get 3Nm tensor G5 chips for Pixel 10 models coming later this year. Samsung looks like the modem business has also been lost – the Pixel 10 phones will use MediaTek T900 modems instead (though some rumors still point to the Exynos modem). GPU For, it will come from imagination.
The tensor G5 will focus on improving efficiency rather than bringing more performance – that function will be left for tensor G6. Google is also working on a tensor chip for smartwatch, though it is not clear what the foundry will be used for it.
Speaking of Samsung, the Foundries is looking at the improved yield from the 2NM GAA (“around the gate”) node. This is a good news for the Exynos 2600, which will be featured in the Galaxy S26 series – if it performs good chip, it can be a display of what Samsung’s foundry can do, which will help the company to try to lure old customers away from TSMC.
