Since 2019, we have heard rumors that Google is developing its own mobile chipset. We have seen few examples of specially designed chips from Google like Pixel Visual Core, Titan M Security Chip and Neural Processing Unit. But they were just co-processors and not an integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC). However, things are about to change as Google has partnered with Samsung to develop an in-house chipset to compete with the A14 Bionic and Snapdragon 888 in the market. The first ever Google-designed chipset is called Whitechapel (codenamed GS101) and will launch with the Pixel 6 series this fall. So if you're interested in learning more about Google's Whitechapel chip, you've come to the right place. We'll discuss Whitechapel's specs, benchmarks, and how Google's upcoming chip compares to other mobile processors in this article.
Google Tensor SoC (AKA Whitechapel) in Pixel 6 – What we know so far!
Here we have detailed everything about Google's Whitechapel Chip (GS101), from its CPU core design to GPU, AI, ML, Modem, 5G and more. You can move to the desired section from the table below.
Of all things, the CPU's raw horsepower is what makes a chipset stand out. So naturally, people are curious about Google Whitechapel's CPU prowess.
To begin with, Google has designed the processor in collaboration with Samsung. According to 9to5Google, the company is developing the GS101 chip (possibly called Google Silicon 101) in collaboration with Samsung Semiconductor's System Large-scale Integration (SLSI) division. This division is also responsible for the development of Samsung's flagship Exynos chips.
