Yeah, the rumors are true. Google has been working on its own custom chipset for its upcoming Pixel 6 series. It was codenamed Whitechapel and rumored to be called the GS101 (Google Silicon) chipset. Well, surprisingly, the tech giant has put an end to the mystery and officially announced that its first mobile processor is called Google Tensor. It will debut aboard the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro later this fall and offer some much-needed AI computing power to Google’s flagship phones.

So excited to share our new custom Google Tensor chip, which has been 4 yrs in the making (📎 for scale)! Tensor builds off of our 2 decades of computing experience and it’s our biggest innovation in Pixel to date. Will be on Pixel 6 + Pixel 6 Pro in fall. https://t.co/N95X6gFxLf pic.twitter.com/wHiEJRHJwy
