Google Pixel 10’s GPU might come courtesy of Imagination | Infinium-tech

The potential relationship between Google’s upcoming tensor G5 chip and imagination technologies as GPU seller is not new. Various reports and rumors have already indicated, but now we still have another interesting industry source on the matter. Stay here with us for a second because the explanation is a bit complicated.

Last month, there was a RISC-V Day Tokyo conference in Japan. One of the materials coming out of the conference was a blog post by postgraduate student Yang Yanling that details RisC-V and imagination GPU integration. Imagination Technologies shared themselves a blog post on WeChat, which makes it quite credibility. The said post also had a rupture of various chips that use and imagination would use GPU. One of the previous tables from now on is clearly mentioned by Google Tensor G5.

As previous rumors have suggested, Tensor G5, Google Pixel 10 is expected to give strength, DXT-48–1536 will use GPU. It is a modern GPU solution, unlike the ARM Mali-G715 within the Tensor G3 and G4, is capable of modern tricks such as Ray Tracing.

We also know that Tensor G5 will be fabbed by TSMC instead of Samsung on the 3Nm-class node. The Google Arm Cortex CPU will use the core and a newly custom image signal processor (ISP), which will change the custom designs of its predecessors, which depends on the modified Samsung ISP modified with Google-designed blocks. Google is also expected to use custom memory controller, system-level cash and power module. Third-party solutions will be sour for third-party interfaces for USB, PCIE, and I3C components as well as DSI (display), display, flash storage and memory (LPDDR5X).

It is also worth noting that the same table that gives a description of the tensor G5 chip, also refers to a mysterious custom Xiaomi chipset, is going under the name Xuanjie, which is said to use a imagination technologies GPU.
