Google working on 2nd-gen Tensor chips, most likely for Pixel 7: Reports

The future Pixel 7 is expected to feature a 2nd-gen Google Tensor processor, reports 9to5Google. The recently launched Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro introduced Google’s own Tensor chipsets. These new chips were created with an assist from Samsung and are optimised for Google extensive Machine Learning usage. It accelerates existing features and enables things that weren’t possible on any Pixel phone before.

The report adds that ‘Cloudripper’, a new codename related to Pixel was found in the researching apps that are present in the Google Pixel 6. Cloudripper is expected to be the name for the baseboard or developer board that shares common hardware with both the phones, rather than being a codename for the upcoming Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro. A similar codename ‘Slider’ was discovered earlier in 2020 for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
