During this year’s Google I / O conference, the company confirmed that it is working on a smartwatch that will be released in a few months. However, the technology giant was not very vocal about the details and according to GSM Arena sources have learned that the watch will run on Exynos 9110 SoC, which is a chipset from 2018, based on 10nm manufacturing process with two Cortex-A53 cores.
A newer alternative would be the Exynos W920 platform, which powers the Galaxy Watch4 series. It uses a much more efficient 5nm node and has significantly more powerful Cortex-A55 cores, the release said. The question arises as to why Google will rely on older hardware for its product from 2022, and the same sources suggest that the entire development is based on the older chip, as the company has been working on the Pixel Watch for several years. Therefore, choosing a newer platform will slow down the watch more.
Also, Samsung may not sell its W920 SoC to third parties yet, and it is unclear when Google will be able to acquire the chip, according to GSM Arena. (ANI)
