Google's In-House 'Tensor' SoC To Power Upcoming Pixel 6 Smartphones by Swarajya Staff - Aug 3, 2021 04:57 AM Pic Via Google Technology giant Google on Monday (2 August) announced the debut of its in-house designed Tensor System On A Chip (SoC) on its upcoming Pixel 6 smartphones that are slated to launch later this year. The AI-enabled Tensor SoC has been developed specifically for Pixel phones. "AI is the future of our innovation work, but the problem is weâve run into computing limitations that prevented us from fully pursuing our mission. So we set about building a technology platform built for mobile that enabled us to bring our most innovative AI and machine learning (ML) to our Pixel users. We set out to make our own System on a Chip (SoC) to power Pixel 6. And now, years later, itâs almost here," said Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President, Devices & Services.
