Google is reportedly considering adding its custom tensor processor to the Pixel Watch 5 starting in 2026, marking a significant change from using third-party chipsets.
The chip codenamed NPT (Newport Beach) is said to have a core configuration consisting of an ARM Cortex A78 and two Arm Cortex A55s, indicating an evolution in Google's tech.
With the upcoming Pixel Watch 4 expected to feature a Qualcomm SoC, the shift to custom chips represents both ambition and a potential limitation with older CPU cores.
Google's original Pixel Watch launched with a Samsung Exynos 9110 chipset, showing the longstanding reliance on third-party solutions for wearable technology.
