Google's Pixel Watch 5 is set to feature a custom Tensor chip, moving away from Qualcomm, aligning with its strategy in Pixel smartphones. This change is planned for 2026.
The Tensor chip is expected to include one Cortex-A78 core and two Cortex-A55 cores, which are quite dated, reflecting a trend of using older technology in wearables.
Google's decision mirrors the approaches of Samsung and Qualcomm, who also integrate older CPU cores in their smartwatch chips, suggesting a common practice in the industry.
While the specific process technology for the new Tensor chip remains unknown, there are hints it might utilize 3nm technology, and the modem choice is still undecided.
