Google Joins With Samsung In Making Chips For Pixel Phones And Chromebooks

Not only does Google puts effort into Android OS and Pixel lineup but the search giant is also joining with Samsung in manufacturing its own ‘Whitechapel’ processor, as per a recent report.

As projected, these products will be packed inside Google’s Pixel lineup as well as next-gen Chromebook models. This step seems similar to what Apple has already done with iOS-based devices for quite some time when letting them run on its A-series processor. 

‘Whitechapel’ reportedly gets both partial design and ‘state-of-the-art’ 5nm manufacturing process from Samsung. SamMobile previously revealed a report that is in line with this information.

It’s worth mentioning that the Korean tech giant also producing chipsets for iPhones before Apple design and optimize these products later. Out of those, Samsung has also worked on its Exynos chips for Samsung smartphones and tablets as well. 

The report said Google had received some first working versions of ‘Whitechapel’ but it stays uncertain about whether or not the chip would arrive in Pixel 4a or Pixel 5 this year.

Speaking of specifications, the 8-core ARM ‘Whitechapel’ includes optimized hardware that can stick to Google’s machine learning technology. Additionally, it’s crafted to handle “always-on” features and overall performance of Google Assistant. 

In the meantime, the attention of Google towards assembling its own chip could be a piece of bad news for Qualcomm, which has supplied chips for Pixel phones for years.
