'''Google Tensor''' is a series of [[ARM64]]-based [[system-on-chip]] (SoC) processors designed by [[Google]] for its [[Google Pixel|Pixel]] devices. It was originally conceptualized in 2016, following the introduction of [[Pixel (1st generation)|the first Pixel smartphone]], though actual developmental work did not enter full swing until 2020. The first-generation Tensor chip debuted on the [[Pixel 6]] smartphone series in 2021, and was succeeded by the Tensor G2 chip in 2022, G3 in 2023, G4 in 2024 and G5 in 2025. Tensor has been generally well received by critics.

== Development ==

=== Background ===
Development on a [[Google]]-designed [[system-on-chip]] (SoC) first began in April 2016, after the introduction of the company's [[Pixel (1st generation)|first Pixel smartphone]], although Google CEO [[Sundar Pichai]] and hardware chief [[Rick Osterloh]] agreed it would likely take an extended period of time before the product was ready.<ref name="BreakoutPhone" /> The next year, [[Made by Google|the company's hardware division]] assembled a team of 76 [[semiconductor]] researchers specializing in [[artificial intelligence]] (AI) and [[machine learning]] (ML), which has since increased in size, to work on the chip.<ref name="GoogleSilicon" /> Beginning in 2017, Google began to include custom-designed [[co-processor]]s in its [[Google Pixel|Pixel]] smartphones, namely the [[Pixel Visual Core]] on the [[Pixel 2]] and [[Pixel 3]] series and the [[Pixel Neural Core]] on the [[Pixel 4]] series.<ref name="VisualCore" /><ref name="WhitechapelArs" />

By April 2020, the company had made "significant progress" toward a custom [[ARM architecture|ARM]]-based processor for its Pixel and [[Chromebook]] devices, codenamed "Whitechapel".<ref name="WhitechapelAxios" /> At Google parent company [[Alphabet Inc.]]'s quarterly earnings [[investor call]] that October, Pichai expressed excitement at the company's "deeper investments" in hardware, which some interpreted as an allusion to Whitechapel.<ref name="DeeperInvestments" /> The Neural Core was not included on the [[Pixel 5]], which was released in 2020; Google explained that the phone's [[Snapdragon 765G]] SoC already achieved the camera performance the company had been aiming for.<ref name="NeuralCore" /> In April 2021, ''[[9to5Google]]'' reported that Whitechapel would power Google's next Pixel smartphones.<ref name="Whitechapel9to5" /> Google was also in talks to acquire Nuvia prior to its acquisition by Qualcomm in 2021.<ref name="Nuvia" />

Google officially unveiled the chip, named Tensor, in August, as part of a preview of its [[Pixel 6]] and [[Pixel 6 Pro]] smartphones.<ref name="Pixel6Verge" /><ref name="Pixel6TechRadar" /> Previous Pixel smartphones had used [[Qualcomm Snapdragon]] chips,<ref name="Pixel6CNET" /> with 2021's [[Pixel 5a]] being the final Pixel phone to do so.<ref name="Pixel5a" /> Pichai later obliquely noted that the development of Tensor and the Pixel 6 resulted in more off-the-shelf solutions for Pixel phones released in 2020 and early 2021.<ref name="BreakoutPhone" /> In September 2022, ''[[The Verge]]'' reported that a Tensor-powered successor to the [[Pixelbook]] laptop with a planned 2023 release had been canceled due to cost-cutting measures.<ref name="Pixelbook2" />

=== Design ===
"Tensor" is a reference to Google's [[TensorFlow]] and [[Tensor Processing Unit]] technologies, and the chip is developed by the Google Silicon team housed within [[Made by Google|the company's hardware division]], led by vice president and [[general manager]] Phil Carmack alongside senior director Monika Gupta,<ref name="GoogleSilicon2" /> in conjunction with the Google Research division.<ref name="GoogleSilicon" />

Tensor's [[microarchitecture]] consists of two large cores, two medium cores, and four small cores; this arrangement is unusual for [[octa-core]] SoCs, which typically only have one large core. Carmack explained that this was so Tensor could remain efficient at intense workloads by running both large cores simultaneously at a low frequency to manage the various co-processors.<ref name="GoogleSilicon2" /> Osterloh has stated that Tensor's performance is difficult to quantify using synthetic [[Benchmark (computing)|benchmarks]], but should instead be characterized by the many ML capabilities it enables, such as advanced [[speech recognition]],<ref name="BreakoutPhone" /> real-time language translation, the ability to unblur photographs,<ref name="GoogleSilicon" /> and [[Multi-exposure HDR capture|HDR]]-like [[Video frame|frame-by-frame]] processing for videos.<ref name="GoogleSilicon2" />

=== Original ===
The first-generation Tensor chip debuted on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which were officially announced in October 2021 at the Pixel Fall Launch event.<ref name="PixelFallLaunchVerge" /><ref name="PixelFallLaunchGizmodo" /> It was later reused for the [[Pixel 6a]], a mid-range variant of the Pixel 6 series which was announced in July 2022.<ref name="Pixel6aArs" /> Despite being marketed as developed by Google, close-up examinations revealed that the chip contains numerous similarities with [[Samsung Electronics|Samsung]]'s [[Exynos]] series.<ref name="Exynos" /><ref name="AnandTech" />

=== G2 ===
A second-generation Tensor chip was in development by October 2021, codenamed "Cloudripper".<ref name="Cloudripper" /> At the annual [[Google I/O]] keynote in July 2022, Google announced that the chip would debut on the [[Pixel 7]] and [[Pixel 7 Pro]] smartphones,<ref name="Pixel7" /> which were officially announced on October 6 at the annual Made by Google event. The chip is marketed as "Google Tensor G2".<ref name="Pixel7Launch" /> The chip was also used to power the [[Pixel 7a]], [[Pixel Fold]] [[foldable smartphone]], and [[Pixel Tablet]] which was unveiled in May 2023 during the annual I/O keynote.<ref name="PixelFold" />

=== G3 ===
Samsung had begun testing Tensor G3 by August 2022, codenamed "Zuma". Announced in October 2023, the chip was used to power the [[Pixel 8a]], [[Pixel 8]] and [[Pixel 8 Pro]].<ref name="Pixel8Launch" /> This chip is notable for having an unusual 9-core configuration, while all other generations have a more common 8-core configuration.

=== G4 ===
Codename: "Zuma Pro". Devices: [[Pixel 9]], [[Pixel 9a]], [[Pixel 9 Pro]], [[Pixel 9 Pro XL]] and [[Pixel 9 Pro Fold]].

=== G5 ===
Codename: "Laguna". Devices: [[Pixel 10]], [[Pixel 10 Pro]], [[Pixel 10 Pro XL]] and [[Pixel 10 Pro Fold]].

The Tensor G5 features an [[Imagination Technologies]] PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU. This marked a departure from the Arm Mali GPUs used in previous Pixel phones, and a choice that was considered uncommon for a flagship device at the time of its release.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Triggs |first1=Robert |title=Tested: Google’s new GPU is a disaster for Pixel 10 game emulation |url=https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-10-game-emulation-test-3605149/ |website=Android Authority |access-date=3 November 2025 |language=en |date=12 October 2025}}</ref>

Upon the Pixel 10's release, reviewers and users noted that the GPU's performance was subpar, particularly in intensive applications like game emulation. This lackluster performance was attributed to the inclusion of an outdated GPU driver in the phone's initial software.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pandey |first1=Rajesh |title=Google Pixel 10's GPU struggles might stem from old drivers |url=https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-10-gpu-struggles-might-stem-from-old-drivers/ |website=Android Police |access-date=3 November 2025 |language=en |date=16 September 2025}}</ref> Imagination Technologies had already released a newer driver with improved performance and compatibility, but this was not included with the Pixel 10 at launch. Google later stated that it would release GPU driver updates to improve performance in future software updates for the Pixel 10 series.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bhatia |first1=Sanuj |title=Google says Pixel 10 GPU driver updates are on the way |url=https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/google-pixel/google-promises-gpu-improvements-pixel-10 |website=Android Central |access-date=3 November 2025 |language=en |date=24 October 2025}}</ref>

== Reception ==
At launch, Tensor was well received. Philip Michaels of ''[[Tom's Guide]]'' praised the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro's Tensor-powered features and video enhancements,<ref name="TomsGuideReview" /> as did [[Marques Brownlee]] and ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]''{{'s}} Julian Chokkattu.<ref name="MKBHDReview" /><ref name="WiredReview" /> Chokkattu's colleague Lily Hay Newman also highlighted the chip's security capabilities, declaring them Tensor's strongest selling point.<ref name="WiredSecurity" /> Jacon Krol of [[CNN Underscored]] wrote that Tensor delivered "some of the most fluid and fastest performance" on a smartphone,<ref name="CNNReview" /> though ''Android Authority''{{'s}} Jimmy Westenberg was ambivalent.<ref name="AAReview" /> Ryne Hager of ''Android Police'' thought the chip's performance was acceptable to the everyday user, but was disappointed that Google did not offer more years of Android updates given it was no longer bound by Qualcomm's contractual terms.<ref name="APReview" /> ''[[TechRadar]]'' reviewer James Peckham commended Tensor as a "standout feature",<ref name="TRReview1" /> though his colleague David Lumb described the chip's performance as "strong but not class-leading".<ref name="TRReview2" />
