Google following Apple in designing its own smartphone chips. Remains to be seen what that really means here. But, Pixel still has minimal distribution and share - Google hasn’t decided whether it really wants to compete with its OEMs https://t.co/veOEvoqjCL

Google is announcing (previewing? teasing?) the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro today. I had a chance to look at them in person last week and hear about the new custom SoC inside them, called Tensor.
— Dieter Bohn (@backlon) August 2, 2021
Details:https://t.co/ygAEhDjkmP
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

When CPU vendors *primarily* talk about something other than the CPU perf on their SoCs, you can be preeeety sure they're phoning it in. https://t.co/AOGfPVVaAa

The Pixel 6 feels much truer to Google's original vision for the Pixel: a high-end phone truly meant to challenge the iPhone and Samsung. Past couple of years have felt more budget-oriented and focused on the 3a/4a line.

Switching ⚙️ a bit. Let’s talk speech.
— Made By Google (@madebygoogle) August 2, 2021
Speech recognition is another foundational technology where you will see a huge improvement in #Pixel6.
Google Tensor allows us to make big leaps in:
Voice commands
Translation
Captioning
& Dictation
(10/13)
Google is finally taking Pixel phones seriously. Google's Tensor chip is capable of running Google's most power AI & ML models directly on the device. Pixel 6 pro is packed with ultra-high end specs.

Google is finally doing it. I'm crying out of joy. ? https://t.co/RvkOSs6Aix
? @samrutherford sat down with Google's phone chief @rosterloh for a preview of the Pixel 6 and the new Google-designed chip that’s powering it—yep, those rumors were true, too. https://t.co/Ws5obclN3h
— Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) August 2, 2021
I’ll almost certainly get this as soon as it launches. My biggest wish for the Pixel remains that Google will pick a stable platform for the phone and then iterate on it for a good long while

Every generation still feels like a repudiation of the previous one. Go long term! https://t.co/6YnWknuTzY
If a life long iPhone User (not trapped within the Apple Ecosystem) switched to the Pixel 6 they would probably never switch back.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be the most impressive phones of the year and I don't think it's a competition. iPhone 12S better watch out.

Honestly the camera bar looks pretty good and is a nice change from the usual clusters, I’m also very interested to see the new Tensor chip and how it stacks up vs Qualcomm and esp. Apple https://t.co/dSuakPcXOZ

Not a surprise. Google Pixel has between .1% and 1% smartphone unit market share. "Abandoning" Qualcomm just may not leave that big a dent. ? Guessing Exynos-based. $QCOM #Pixel6 #Pixel6Pro https://t.co/UGPF7PDU1s

"Several years ago, we decided if we’re going to really innovate for the future, we’re going to need to build our own system." Google's Rick Osterloh tells @LaurenGoode why Google is getting into chip design.https://t.co/x1DpegkHwa

"Osterloh didn’t disclose exactly who is manufacturing Tensor, but says, “We designed it, own it, and drive it. This is our chip.”" 97% sure this will be made by TSMC, as they basically control the high-end fab chip market. https://t.co/kZAz6b0T3y via @wired
