I’m not sure there’s ever been a phone we knew more about before its official launch than Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. But in a world of samey Android phones, Google made some interesting choices, especially with regards to the chips that power it all. For the first time, Google now offers a phone that is powered by an SoC of its own design.

Dubbed Tensor, Google first talked about it earlier this summer. It’s what powers all of the on-device AI smarts of the phone. It’s basically Google’s own AI/ML accelerator, coupled with relatively off-the-shelf Arm CPU and GPU cores, as well as Google’s new Titan 2 security core.
