Google Pixel Fold and Galaxy Watch6 chips made by Samsung 5nm to perform better!
Samsung made notable improvements in its 5nm chip fabrication technology, which will be benefiting the upcoming Galaxy Watch6 and Google’s Pixel Fold. As the smartwatch would bring Samsung’s Exynos chip, the first Pixel Fold is likely to equip the same chip as Pixel 7.
According to tipster Tech_Reve, the Tensor G2 chipset installed in the Google Pixel Fold could perform better than the Pixel 7 series. Similarly, the Galaxy Watch6, which is borrowing Watch5’s Exynos W920 SoC could be better than the same chip used in its predecessor.
No doubt, the Exynos W920 processor is made by Samsung Foundry and Google also picked the same fabrication ground for its second-generation Tensor chipset. After seeing power efficiency and thermal issues, the company has made radical improvements to make the process better.
Tensor G2 Specs
- Big Cores 2x Cortex-X1 @ 2.85GHz
- Medium Cores 2x Cortex-A78 @ 2.35GHz
- Little Cores 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1.8GHz
- GPU – ARM Mali G710 MP07
Talking about the Exynos W920 chip, it’s developed exclusively for smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch5 lineup is equipped with the same chipset, which brings a 1.18GHz Dual-core (Cortex®-A55) CPU, Mali-G68 MP2 GPU, and fabricated on 5nm process tech.
Most likely, there won’t be any kind of change in specs, but Samsung’s enhanced 5nm process tech would play a key role in boosting the performance and efficiency of these chipsets. And as per the tipster’s claim, both Galaxy Watch6 and Pixel Fold bring chips made by Samsung 5nm.
Pixel Fold.
Recent report suggest that the Google Pixel Fold will be announced next month and pre-orders would start at the same time. It’s going to be a tough competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold4 and the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold5, which could go official by August.
Korean media report recently revealed that Samsung Display is reportedly supplying its new foldable panel to Google for the Pixel Fold smartphone. At the same time, Samsung Electronics is using the same screen as the Fold4 in its future foldable.
