If Tensor G5 fails Google would definately have failed in the smartphone Market and even damage Android in the process

Why would it damage Android? And haven't most generations of Pixel had various shortcomings and various issues? Hasn't stopped buyers from coming back. It takes a lot for a brand as big as Google's to "fail" in the smartphone market, and using an SoC with subpar performance certainly wouldn't be the thing that makes that happen. Especially when their marketing would be all about AI, and not stellar GB6 results.

Google Tensor/Pixel LinkedIn List

A spreadsheet with the names of engineers who are part of Google's Tensor SoC team.

There are some veterans from Qualcomm, Intel, IBM etc... with 10+,20+ and even 30+ years of experience.

A lot of these people were hired in the last 3-4 years. It seems Google's bolstering their Tensor team as they wean off of Samsung LSI, and start to make their own fully in-house SoCs starting with Tensor G5.

A renaissance in custom ARM CPU core projects?

Will be interesting to see how Google's core stacks up against others. We might see it in the Tensor G6.

I'd guess this was a long term objective of theirs- building a custom CPU. Remember when Google tried to buy Nuvia?
