Next-Gen Tensor G5 TSMC Powers Google Pixel 10!

Tensor G5 TSMC

A long-standing tradition will be broken by the processor of the next Google Pixel 10. Samsung Foundry makes Google’s Tensor chips, which power Pixel devices like the Pixel 6. Google may choose TSMC to make its Tensor G5 CPU for the Pixel 10. Google’s hardware aspirations have changed, which could affect the Pixel 10’s performance and capabilities.

Google Tensor G5

Regarding the rationale behind the foundry change, Google has not released an official statement. Still, rumours in the industry suggest a few options:

TSMC’s Leading-Edge Manufacturing

TSMC is the world’s leading chip manufacturer, known for its cutting-edge production procedures. Using TSMC’s 4nm (or possibly a more advanced node) technology for the Tensor G5 TSMC could improve performance and power efficiency over Samsung’s chips.

Supplier Diversification

With Samsung as its only supplier for chips, Google may have been subject to restrictions or limitations resulting from Samsung’s production capabilities or goals. Making the move to TSMC provides production process control and diversification.

Potential Tensions

Unconfirmed, but possible Google and Samsung Foundry may have had underlying conflicts or tensions that affected the choice.

Pixel 10

For the Pixel 10, What Does This Mean?

There have been talks concerning the possible effects of the Pixel 10 after the company switched to TSMC:

Performance Boost

Compared to the 5nm process that is probably utilised in the Tensor chips found in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7, TSMC’s 4nm process offers efficiency and performance gains. Better graphics performance, quicker processor speeds, and longer battery life for the Pixel 10 could result from this.

Tensor G5’s Capabilities

The features of The Tensor G5 TSMC new chip designs or features may be tested by Google thanks to the move to TSMC, which could have implications beyond the production process. Due to Samsung’s limitations in the past, Google may be able to incorporate features thanks to TSMC’s experience producing cutting-edge chips.

Difficulties to Expect

There may be difficulties involved with moving manufacturing to a new foundry, such as TSMC. At the beginning, there could be delays, yield rates (the percentage of chips that function) or even integration problems.

Improved AI and Machine Learning

Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) powers the Tensor chip’s machine learning capabilities. Google may benefit from TSMC’s experience in TPU optimisation for on-device AI performance.

Additional Control and Customisation

TSMC might provide Google additional chip design and manufacturing control. This may enable greater Tensor G5 TSMC customisation to meet Google’s needs and Pixel device software optimisations.

A Review of the Data

TSMC may have had some role in the Tensor G5 processor in the Pixel 10, despite the fact that Google hasn’t made the foundry change official. As of right now, we know:

Information Leak

From a publicly accessible trade database, tech publications such as Android Authority have uncovered information suggesting that Google is delivering a new chip possibly the Tensor G5 TSMC from Taiwan, home of TSMC, to an Indian company for testing. Reportedly, TSMC is identified as the manufacturer in the chip description.

Codenames and Speculations

The Tensor G5 TSMC codename, “Laguna Beach,” was also made public by leaks, which solidified the device’s affinity with the Pixel 10. A considerable improvement over earlier Pixel devices may be indicated by the rumours that the chip would have 16GB of RAM that have appeared.

The Way Forward

It will take some time before we witness the tangible effects of Google’s decision to move to TSMC, with the Pixel 9 anticipated to ship later in 2024 and the Pixel 10 most likely arriving in late 2025. Watch out for the following:

Announcements from Google

When the Pixel 10 launches, the company is probably going to announce the foundry partner and give more information regarding the Tensor G5 TSMC.

Benchmark Leaks

Shortly before the official debut, performance benchmarks for Tensor G5 TSMC may surface, providing information about possible gains in performance.

Reviews of the Pixel 10 by tech experts

These reviews will offer practical evaluations of the Tensor G5 TSMC capabilities and its relationship to earlier Pixel models.

Google Pixel 10

The Pixel 10’s transfer to TSMC is notable, but it’s just one part. Expect improvements in other areas like:

Camera Technology

Pixel phones are known for their cameras. This tradition may be continued with the Pixel 10 with upgraded sensors, computational photography, and camera technology.

Display Technology

Flagship phones increasingly have high-refresh rate displays. The Pixel 10 may have a smoother, more responsive display to improve user experience.

Google’s Aspirations for Hardware and the TSMC Factor

The company’s expanding goals in the smartphone hardware market are shown by Google’s decision to switch to TSMC. In order to potentially produce more competitive chips for its Pixel handsets, Google is stepping up its partnership with a top foundry, TSMC. Should this change be effective, Google might become a more significant competitor in the high-end smartphone market, which is now controlled by Samsung and Apple thanks to their proprietary chipsets.

To sum up

Excitement and eagerness have been raised by the impending Pixel 10’s move to a Tensor G5 chip made by TSMC. Even yet, it’s unclear exactly what will happen.

Ok Democrats #report LETS TALK SPYING what should of been my team on the Plane (busTED) IT WAS WHAT WE WOULD CALL REPORTERS. I say to follow the women BUT MAY BE SAID CONTACTING OTHER #runners to sync ONE RUNNER DATA “he said hi n I said hello” at the same time! #cnn #foxnews WORLD WIDE MEDIA OUTLETS 24/7 COVERAGE. It was agency’s PROPAGANDA “Bait” (me) AFTER ALL I WAS PUBLIC ENEMY #1! #goarmy

After All the whole time talking to my pulse MY BABY BLOOD With Threats of Getting Me Pregnant! Haha the women thought they were following A TRANSGENDER PREGNANT MALE LOOKING TO SUCK DICK ON A PLANE again (BusTED) I WAS SKINNY DAY TWO... them it was no more girls BECAUSE PEDIFILES! The little girl looks n smile CALLED ME DAD IN FRONT OF HER DAD #raw #pixelmodel

The only problem was ON MY PLANE (busTED) should of been private! SHOULD OF BEEN MY BRIEFING! But they hate me n will not talk to me I SAY PREY FOR THEM, fuck them! They all knew me but didn’t know me?

#report THE BANG BUS TURNED INTO THE GANGBANG BUS BECAUSE shortage of women! BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE WE SAW ALL THESE TREASURES

#report I NEED MY OWNTEAM. WE CAN CALL “spying” THE MEDIA FROM EVERY MAJOR NEWS SOURCE WORLDWIDE! Following ME THE PRESIDENT! It is very disappointing to have a group of people ASSAULT YOU EVERYWHERE I GO not alone on a plane (again BusTED)

How To Build Up A Live2D Model in Aseprite Tutorial + Resources

This Tutorial is old and outdated, it also needs to be remade soon but enjoy it still! -v-

Making a Live2D model in pixels were kinda overwhelming, sinse at the time nothing of help were on the Internet about pixelmodels at all. all of this into is just from my experience from making all my models

so i thought it would be a good idea to show you how I make My Models and some tips i've picked up along the way aswell as some info and resources :>

Note This is Part 1 in a series of Tutorials

How to Export a Pixel-Live2D-Model from Aseprite to Live2D Cubism

How to Rig a Live2D Pixel-Model

but first a little quick info!

Pixel live2D models are made of Upscaled pixelart.

Pixel models are generally more rare than Digital-art Live2D models.

Pixel models are generally rigged like normal models or atleast can be.

here is also a list of Vtubers/Artists who Makes/Uses Pixelmodels.

These could be good to look through before you decide on a way to build your model!

(These are just the ones i've found so far)

The Paralax Effect VS Deformers

Pixel-models doesnt like being bended by a Warp-Deformer much, and in turn someone smart on the internet found out that you could split the hair into layers and make a simple Paralax Effect with them (Org Tweet of that)

Generally you're gonna be able to recreate the Look left and Look right of the Model Inside Aseprite even before making more then the Head of the model.

Here you actually see i made a mistake on the Left looking one, its outline is a little off

Snapping VS Opacity

Pixel-models, can look pretty nice when stuff just snaps from one position to another, the Opacity from switching sprites can look a bit Blurry if you arent careful.

Bellow are Exsamples of Opacity (The Eyes) and Snapping (The Wings), both work really well, but on the wings it makes sense just to snap else it will just create a Ghost'ish effect. These Sprites Animations are just made by Making the different would be Frames on diffrent layers.

Snapping Exsample

Eye Opacity Exsample

i think thats about all the info i got :>

Okay so making a model, is kinda painful, but atleast we're gonna be in pain together!

i always start by making the Faceplate of the Model. Oh and remember to split everything into layers like a normal model. :>

something like this

Then i ether go and make the front hair, or the eyes i'll go for the eyes for this Tutorial

Something like this!

you need to make a sprite for Open Eyes, Half Closed Eyes, and a Closed Eyes, i mainly only do that with the eyelashes

i split the Eyelash, Eyewhite and the Pupil, i keep my pupils in its own folder so you can add more pupils like a heart eye pupil or an angry/yandere one.

the layers for me ends up looking like this, now do this for the other eye (or eyes) too.

oh and how i add smug is just by adding a small line of whatever skin color the character has under the eyes on a layer above the pupil and eye white.

for it to look good exported, it actually needs to be put a pixel or two down, so when you enable it in Live2D, it moves up into place instead of showing up by Opacity.

when we come to rigging, then i normally bind the smugness to the EyeSmile param,

Thats the eyes done :>

Hair time!

I make my Hair by actually Splitting it into 2 or 3 parts, The front hair, The Middle hair, and the Back hair which is split into even smaller parts.

its very importent that the hair is able to create a small paralax effect like i said before, we do this by the splitting.

i always start with the front hairs, but then when i come to the part thats slightly more behind then i switch to the middle hair and then flip flop between till i'm happy about them

then i as a finish'er i add the back hair, and i make sure the layers sprites overlap slightly even with the outline

then we're nearly done, we still need a neck between the face plate and the middle hair, then thats the head done!

All done, i added a little bit of Expression stuff too, you can go do that too if you want :>

(but just to be sure, test if it can look from left to right, maybe up and down without the outline breaking?)

The body!

I must admit that i'm not the best at rigging the body, i can show you what i do know though

i like splitting the body into two folders, Upper body and Lower body.

I split them up so its easier the Rig the Breath parameter in Live2D

i also split the Legs at the joints so you can make them move when looking from side to side, same goes for the arms.

as you can see its showing two outfits for the model, you can make the model flip between those with a parameter later in live2d aswell

else i dont really do much more then that, my bodies are very simple, heres how it looks though

very simple model, you can always add more to it later! :>

That being said thats about all i know, i hope it gave you a little idea about how you go about building one, its a daunting task, but the end is very worth it.

Now its onto the next Tutorial in the List!
