Whitechapel will be the proprietary processor of Google Pixel 6. Some time ago we treated all of yours features known but today, months later, more concrete specifications emerge. Specifically, a well-known leaker would spoil the build process and performance of Google's processor, which wouldn't rank as a Snapdragon 888 parigrade but rather one Snapdragon 870. Let's go see everything there is to know.
Whitechapel will be the name of Google Pixel 6's proprietary processor. Here are the first unofficial specifications: more one Snapdragon 870 than 888
Some details have appeared on the web about Google's processor, known as the Whitechapel. It should form the basis of the next Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Until now, there were no technical details about Whitechapel - it was only reported that Google could use it on the new generation of smartphones. Now one of the insiders writes on Twitter that this SoC was developed using a production process at 5 nanometers, that is, it is as advanced as the Apple A14 and Snapdragon 888.
However, it will not be able to compete with the latest Qualcomm processor. As reported, Google is betting not on overall performance, but on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Basically not brute power but stability, as it should be. The insider writes that Whitechapel uses Arm Mali GPU: These GPUs are inferior in performance to the best Qualcomm Adreno GPU and, of course, to the graphics of the Apple A14 itself. Maybe it's because of the GPU that Whitechapel is unable to deliver overall performance on par with the Snapdragon 888.
However, Google still has plenty of time to squeeze full speed out of Whitechapel - Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro should be previewed not before October.
