Google Might Put a Customized Chip in Its Smartwatches
Android Authority, citing paperwork from Google’s gChips division, reviews that Google plans to launch a customized Tensor chip for Pixel Watches in 2026 alongside the Pixel Watch 5. The chip codenamed NPT (Newport Seashore) is alleged to have a core configuration consisting of an ARM Cortex A78 and two Arm Cortex A55s. Google is reportedly assessing RISC-V as a possible different to Arm.
The CPU cores are previous with Cortex-A55 courting again so far as 2017, the report states. The configuration of NPT is alleged to be much like Samsung’s Exynos W1000 chipset, which has 1x Cortex-A78 and 4x Arm Cortex-A55. The method node and modem of the brand new chipset are at present unclear.
This might be an enormous change for Google as Samsung and Qualcomm have produced all of its wearable chipsets. Google’s unique Pixel Watch launched with a Samsung Exynos 9110 chipset, whereas the Pixel Watch 2 is provided with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 SoC. The newest Pixel Watch 3 was unveiled in August through the Made By Google occasion with a Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor.
