However, recent leaks have suggested that the Tensor G5 will be manufactured by TSMC, making it Google’s first chip made without help from Samsung.

Thanks to information spotted by the Android Authority team in publicly available trade databases, we can prove the rumors true and provide a bit more insight into the new chip.

All this would make sense, given that the chip is about 16 months from release. To get this brand-new platform up and running, Google needs more time than usual, so manufacturing the first samples this early is a logical step.

The entry also mentions the chip has 16GB of package-on-package RAM manufactured by SEC (Samsung Electronics Co). This aligns with the leaks that the Pixel 9 Pro has an upgraded 16GB of RAM, which presumably will set the standard for the Pixel 10.

One last thing we can learn from the entry itself is that the exporter was Google LLC in Taiwan, and the importer was a company called Tessolve Semiconductor in India. Tessolve is a company specializing in semiconductor solutions, including verification and testing. It’s likely that Google is working with it to offload some of the work that was previously done by Samsung.
