Google's "custom" Tensor SoC might be just an unreleased Exynos

06 August 2021
The chipset will be manufactured by Samsung, but it seems like there's more to that company's participation in the project.

big faaaaaaaa.......... aaaaaat!

    It would be really cool if this chip was designed by samsung and fabbed in TSMC's foundries as samsung is notorious for throttling, heating and other problems.

      I just hope google had much more impact on exynos than Samsung and optimized it much better.

        Don't go there Google...

          sounds like 5a will sell more than 6 series

            Perhaps Samsung selling some rejected chip design to Google for throwaway prices, and they are just hyping it up by renaming it 'Tensor' like it's some new revolution in smartphone tech

              Google are just lying. This is a first gen product where they had hardly any input, perhaps it's in the next gens that a difference will be made, but this isn't it. Software support might be longer as google own the software stack for the hardware, but that's about it.

                Exynos 1080? Whatever happened to that chip?

In both performance and battery life. Exynos 990 did have several shortcomings, but Exynos 2100 doesn't really.

                      Let's see how it works this time.

                          I expected tensor to give ground breaking performance like M1 did. Learning that its just going to be a renamed Exynos is very disappointing.

                              So the beta phone will be powered by the slow heater from Samsung. Yet another reason to stay away from the beta phone.!

                                I'm sure that google will go back to SD.
                                I don't understand the decision making process in google. they are uncertain of their future plans.
                                For sure they are going to drop this chipset at the cost of pixel phones

                                      So,high Heating and low battery backup

                                        If it's Exynos, I guess it'll have poor battery life. I think that's tended to be the case in Samsung's flagships that are released with Exynos and Snapdragon chips in different markets.
