Using Samsung’s 5nm node process, Google manufactured its first Tensor chip last year. This chipset offered decent performance as part of the Pixel 6 series. The South Korean company may work on Google’s next-generation Tensor chip and its Exynos 1380 processor.
GalaxyClub reported that Samsung is testing its next-generation Tensor chipset. To power the Pixel 8 series, the chipset with model number S5P9865 is said to be the third-generation Google Tensor chipset. ‘Rip current’ is the code name of the development board, and ‘Zuma’ is the code name of the chip. Accordingly, it is assumed that the chipset is a Tensor SoC manufactured by Samsung, which has a similar model number (S5P9845).
The newly discovered model number (S5P9865) would likely be the third generation of Tensor SoC, based on reports that Tensor 2 would be developed on the Cloudripper developer board.
On the other hand, the rumored Exynos 1380 SoC is expected to succeed the Exynos 1280 SoC that was launched in April. According to the report, the Exynos 1280 SoC is being developed and tested under the product code S5E8835. With the Galaxy A53 powered by the Exynos 1280, we can expect the Galaxy A54 to be powered by its successor.
No details have been confirmed yet about the development of Samsung’s next-generation SoCs. You should take the information above with a grain of salt, as it is based on speculation, and more details should be available shortly.
