Google to launch own processor for upcoming Pixel

Alphabet Inc’s Google has announced that it will employ processors that are designed in-house for its Pixel phones, launching following this fall, in a shift away from Qualcomm Inc’s technology that has powered the search giant’s Android devices for over 15 years.

The processor, named Tensor, will be powering the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones, Google stated in a blog post, with the company planning to reveal further details closer to the release.
