A summary of Google's official product description.
Announced with the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025, the Tensor G5 is Google's first chip fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process. Google pairs a Cortex-X4 prime core at 3.78 GHz with five Cortex-A725 cores and two Cortex-A520 cores, and puts the upgraded TPU at the centre of the pitch: it runs Gemini Nano on the device for features such as Magic Cue and the camera's computational pipeline.

For buyers who put the camera, and video in particular, first; tagged from the maker's camera and video specs.
Good fitA balanced spec set for everyday use: display, battery and camera figures together.
Good fitFor heavy work use; tagged from the battery and display specs. We have not timed the battery ourselves.
Good fitThe Kacbu editors' assessment of the specifications the maker publishes. We do not test devices ourselves, so nothing here is a measured result. Anything taken from an independent review is shown with its publication and date in the Press section.
Instead of tracking today's retail price, Kacbu keeps the product's official launch information as a reference.
The manufacturer's official announcement date.
The start of the initial sales period.
Google designs Tensor in the US and does not manufacture chips itself; the Tensor G5 is fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process in Taiwan — the first Tensor generation built there rather than at Samsung.
