Using 5nm process technology, Google will launch self-developed chips

After Apple launched the self-developed Mac chip M1, many manufacturers have greatly increased their interest in self-developed chips. Among them, Google has also developed chips for Pixel smartphones and Chromebooks.
According to people familiar with the matter, Google has recently successfully developed a self-developed chip code-named Whitechapel and has been testing it for several weeks. It is understood that the processor contains eight ARM cores and some additional silicon chips to accelerate Google's machine learning algorithms. And to improve the performance of the Google Assistant application.
Google’s self-developed new product uses Samsung’s 5LPE process. Since new mobile chips often take about a year in the commercial process, it is expected that if everything goes smoothly, the chip will be launched in 2021.
Google will not only launch self-developed chips on the mobile terminal, but also try to develop Chromebook processors, but Google still prefers to start with smart phone processors to accumulate experience in chip design.
At present, most smart phone manufacturers prefer to use Qualcomm, MediaTek or Samsung chips, but they lack personalized hardware design and cannot be differentiated in terms of performance and experience.
In order to match the system and reduce costs, Apple has been creating self-developed iPhone chips, and now they have also introduced self-developed Mac chips.
Google also hopes to quickly innovate Android and Chrome OS platforms, so that it has more "bargaining chips" when competing with Apple or Microsoft. Self-developed chips may be a viable path.
