Google originally planned to release the chip, internally called Redondo, next year to replace the semicustom chips it currently designs with Samsung Electronics (OTC:SSNLF), the report said.

The tech giant will also switch from Samsung (KS:005930) to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) for making the chips, called Tensors, according to The Information.

The world’s largest contract chipmaker counts companies such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) among its customers.

Google and TSMC did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Google will stick with Samsung for another year and wait until 2025 to introduce a fully custom design chip, internally code-named Laguna, according to The Information.

The Laguna chip will be based on TSMC’s 3-nanometer manufacturing process, currently the world’s most advanced chipmaking process, the report added.
