A tipster reveals that TSMC turned down the opportunity to build the Tensor G4 because it is a low volume job.
TSMC is still expected to build the Tensor G5 chip. Currently, Google"partially customizes" the Tensor chips which are based on Samsung's Exynos SoCs. TSMC is expected to use a 3nm node to build the Tensor G5 which will debut with the Pixel 10 series in 2025.
While some might say that Google's use of Samsung Foundry for the Tensor G4 indicates that the company trusts that Samsung has cleaned up previous yield issues and can manufacture chips that won't overheat, the truth is that once it was turned down by TSMC, where else could Google turn to? Intel could be a possibility as it ramps up its contract foundry business, but it just started to mass-produce chips using its 4nm node .
Nonetheless, Revegnus says that it will be Samsung Foundry churning out the Tensor G4 application processor next year followed by the TSMC-built Tensor G5 in 2025. We will have to wait until then to see if he was right.
