Google’s Tensor G6 in Pixel 11 isn’t the first 2nm smartphone chip after all

A recent report has cast doubt on Google's claims about the Tensor G6 chip found in the Pixel 11, stating it is not the first smartphone chip to utilize TSMC's 2nm process. According to TSMC's Vice President of Hardware, Peng Yu-chun, the Tensor G6 is in fact manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process.

Google had previously positioned itself as the first to use TSMC's 2nm process in a smartphone chip, claiming a significant efficiency improvement. However, this appears not to be the case. The updated information indicates that the Exynos 2600, manufactured by Samsung, was actually the first to employ TSMC's 2nm process in a smartphone chip.

Despite the incorrect claim, Google has made other enhancements to the Tensor G6 chip. It reportedly incorporates modern CPU cores from ARM, albeit with a less powerful GPU compared to other flagship-tier smartphone chips.
