Google had planned to launch the Tensor chip for Pixel phones in 2020

In a recent video, YouTuber Marque Brownlee revealed that Google had planned to launch the Tensor chip on the Pixel 5 as early as 2020, but did not do so at the last minute.

Marque Brownlee revealed that Google had been researching Tensor chips for a long time and hoped to release them earlier. But later, due to the new crown and supply chain problems, as well as a lot of things that hindered them, Google had to abandon the plan at the last minute.

This forced Google to equip the phone with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC and delay the release of the Tensor chip until next year.

The Tensor processor is a major improvement over the Snapdragon 765G, allowing for smoother performance. Thanks to the Mali-G76 graphics processor on the Tensor chip, you can expect about twice the performance on the GPU side.
