Pixel 6 will be powered by new Google-made 'Whitechapel' chip

9to5Google can report today that Google's upcoming phones for this fall, including the presumed Pixel 6, will be among the first devices to run on the "GS101" Whitechapel chip.

[...] First rumored in early 2020, Whitechapel is an effort on Google's part to create their own systems on a chip (SoCs) to be used in Pixel phones and Chromebooks alike, similar in to how Apple uses their own chips in the iPhone and Mac. Google was said to be co-developing Whitechapel with Samsung, whose Exynos chips rival Snapdragon processors in the Android space.

Per that report, Google would be ready to launch devices with Whitechapel chips as soon as 2021. According to documentation viewed by 9to5Google, this fall's Pixel phones will indeed be powered by Google's Whitechapel platform.

[...] Putting it all together, this fall's Made by Google phones will not use chips made by Qualcomm, but will instead be built on Google's own Whitechapel hardware platform with assistance from Samsung.
