Google Tensor 2 chips will be made on Samsung's 4nm node

Google will continue to work closely with Samsung Electronics on the release of processors for future Pixel 7 smartphones. Google Tensor 2 chip will be released at the facilities of the Korean semiconductor giant, but they will receive a thinner process technology.

First Google Tensor chips were made using Samsung's 5nm technology. While new SoCs are created using a 4-nanometer process technology. Also mentioned is the PLP (panel-level packaging) packaging method, a process in which chips cut from a wafer are placed on a rectangular panel. This approach reduces waste at the insert edge, reducing costs and improving quality.

In addition, Samsung is in talks with Google on the production of chips for other solutions of the company. For example, we are talking about server processors. Samsung also supplies the search giant with DRAM and NAND memory chips, as well as chips for Waymo unmanned vehicles. In addition, the Korean company will produce screens for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, although they are inferior to the displays of other smartphones.
