I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Google is reportedly set to debut TSMC's 2nm chip with its Tensor G6, beating Apple. This chip will power the Pixel 11 series launching in August 2026, approximately a month before Apple's iPhone 18 Pro. This marks a shift from historical trends where Apple was always the first adopter of TSMC's leading-edge processes.
According to the latest industry leaks, Google’s next-generation in-house flagship chip, the Tensor G6, will be the first to adopt TSMC’s 2nm process, making it the world’s first mass-produced 2nm smartphone chip. The chip will power the Pixel 11 series, scheduled for launch in August 2026, about a month ahead of Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro lineup, which is also expected to use TSMC’s 2nm technology.
Historically, Apple has been TSMC’s first customer to adopt each new leading-edge process and bring it to its mobile devices. That tradition, however, is set to be broken this year, with Google expected to become the launch customer for TSMC’s 2nm process, drawing significant industry attention. [IThome, in Chinese]
