Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro to get TSMC chip boost, leak reveals all colors

Up to now, the Google Tensor G4 has been manufactured in a 4 nm process at Samsung and so has been unable to keep pace with rival flagship processors, as both the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 not only utilize more modern, higher clocked CPU cores, but also TSMC's 3 nm production process.

According to a new report from DigiTimes, Google now plans to catch up in this area, as the company is said to have signed a three to five-year contract with TSMC that stipulates that the manufacturer's ARM chips will be produced in Taiwan in the future. The first step will be the Tensor G5, which will be launched in a few months as part of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro. According to a comprehensive leak, the Tensor G5 has an ARM Cortex-X4 Prime core, five Cortex-A725 performance cores, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores, accompanied by an Imagination Tech DXT-48 GPU.

According to the leak, multi-core performance is expected to be around 43% better than the Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9, but the more modern manufacturing process is also expected to make the chip more efficient. Meanwhile, leaker Mystic Leaks, who has previously leaked accurate information about new Android features, has revealed details about the colors of the Pixel 10 series. According to the report, the Pixel 10 will be available in Obsidian (black), Blue (blue), Iris (purple) and Limoncello (yellow), while the Pixel 10 Pro will be available in Obsidian (black), Green (green), Sterling (gray) and Porcelain (white).
