google tensor it was the first proprietary processor of the technology giant of the same name. But apparently, it's the first of many processors since, according to what members of 9to5Google, is being worked on on tensioner 2. Presumably (but also in a rather obvious way) we already know which smartphone will integrate this SoC: it will be the next generation Pixel, or the Pixel 7. But having said that, let's see what industry experts have discovered.
The first information on Google Tensor 2 shows up. It could be the Google processor for the Pixel 7. Here's what we know!
When searching for apps included in Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, the APK Insight team of 9to5Google found references to a new codename related to Pixel smartphones, "cloudripper". Rather than being the codename for next year's Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, Cloudripper is supposed to be the name of a baseboard or developer board that shares hardware in common with the two smartphones. In simple terms, it could be Tensor 2.

According to the documentation, Cloudripper is linked to a second generation version of the Google Tensor chips, with the model number "GS201". Compared to the “GS101” found in the Pixel 6, this chip appears to be a more recent generation, suggesting that the model number may increase every year. This same “GS201” was identified da Mishaal Rahman in the Android code.
Said this, the Pixel 7 series is still a long way off and will arrive in 2022, so it's hard to pin down all the details right now. In any case, we can expect stellar performance from Tensor 2. The current one, as we have seen, really promises sparks.
