Google plans to stop using Samsung for making phone chips. The tech giant wants TSMC to build future processors instead. Samsung made the Tensor G4 chip, but it will be the last one. Google picked TSMC because Samsung has problems making chips well. The company needs better chips to compete with other phone makers.
Google bosses flew to Taiwan to meet with TSMC leaders. They want a deal that lasts three to five years. The first new chip will be called Tensor G5. TSMC will make it using advanced 3nm technology. This chip should appear in phones next year.
Samsung struggles to make 3nm chips without defects. The Korean company cannot deliver chips fast enough for Google, which would mean waiting too long and paying more money. TSMC makes chips better and faster than Samsung. Most big tech companies already use TSMC for their processors.
The Pixel 10 phones will likely launch in late 2025. These devices should have the new TSMC-made chips inside. TSMC already leads the chip industry with better technology. The company recently started taking orders for even newer 2nm chips. Google will probably keep working with TSMC for many years.
