Google is still taking its first steps in the world of semiconductor design and construction, but some have proven to be as efficient as the Titan M, the security chips of the Pixel 3 of almost three generations ago. Precisely the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will debut another additional chip, the Google Tensor that for months was known as WhiteChapel and that will be responsible for enhancing artificial intelligence.
However, Google’s path in the world of semiconductors does not seem to stop there since the latest information that lands from media related to the company speak of future processors. In this case, not about anything related to mobile phones but about processors for your Chromebooks, in the purest style of the Apple M1 for laptops.
Processors for phones, processors for laptops
The information comes from the Asian Nikkei medium in which it is said that Google is already developing new processors to continue progressing in its hardware division. The North American company plans to launch CPUs, main processors, serving your ChromeOS operating system and that can be installed on both laptops (Chromebooks) and convertible tablets.
According to Nikkei, Google seems to have been inspired by the success of Apple With its latest M1, the leap from the ARM processors of its compatriots to fully enter the market for laptop processors. Nikkei says that this information reaches them through two different contacts, both of whom are familiar with Google’s medium-term plans in that market.
Google already designs processors for its Pixel phones, the next thing will be its Chromebooks
Future Google processors for its Chromebooks will be developed based on ARM and its premiere on the market is expected to take place sometime in 2023. With this jump, Google could become independent from providers such as Intel in this sense and resume the launch of Chromebooks under its own brand, something that already seemed parked at this point. So Google is likely to get its Pixel Chromebooks back by 2023.
Google has not had its own laptops or tablets since 2018, when its last Google Pixel Slate was launched, although the model has survived to this day despite having, according to Nikkei, a very low sales rate. We will see what happens when future Google processors for Chromebooks hit the market. Remember, year 2023.
