As the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro launch Google’s new line of Tensor chips into the world, word is that work is already well underway on the Pixel 7, which will feature a second-generation Google Tensor chip.
9To5Google found mention of the codename ‘Cloudripper’ in source code, which the website believes refers to the second-gen Tensor chip.
According to 9To5Google, who have viewed documentation: “Cloudripper is connected to a second-generation version of Google Tensor chips, with the model number ‘GS201’. By comparison to the ‘GS101’ found in the Pixel 6, this chip appears to be a full generation newer, suggesting that each year may see the model number increase by 100.”
