![[Update: Fix coming] Wear OS 5.1 update causing delayed notifications and other bugs](https://i0.wp.com/9to5google.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/09/pixel-watch-3-wear-os-app-list-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1){kind=tracking}
GPU maker Imagination may have accidentally confirmed its Google Tensor G5 role (Update: Probably not)
Google's new partner for the Tensor G5's GPU is sounding more and more likely.
- Google’s Tensor G5 chip that will power the Pixel 10 series is expected to make some big changes from past chips.
- That could include an all-new choice for the GPU, now coming from Imagination Technologies.
- An Imagination product table, seemingly posted in response to an industry event, may add new support to that theory.
Update, March 24, 2025 (11:56 AM ET): It looks like we’re going to have to keep searching for further confirmation of Imagination Technologies working with Google on the Tensor G5, as the tables discussed below, removed from a WeChat social media post, may not be the evidence we were looking for. Mobiletelefon.ru managed to track down what appears to be the original source of the tables that mentioned the Imagination/Google connection: documentation on GitHub for a project to bring Imagination GPU support to RISC-V systems.
Those tables, however, add an additional column that references the source of this data, and for the Tensor G5 entry, they point to a reblog of none other than our own Tensor G5 exclusive from last fall. So essentially, this is nothing more than our original association between Imagination and Google, and does not corroborate any work on the Tensor G5.
