Last week, Google finally confirmed that it was working on a smartwatch pixel Watch, but he didn't reveal much about them. However, it is logical, the watch should be available only in the fall. Anyway, now it has been revealed what kind of chip they use.
According to 9to5Google's sources, it powers the Pixel Watch Samsung's Exynos 9110 chip, which debuted in the first generation of watches Galaxy Watch from 2018. It was already speculated at the end of last year that the Google watch would use a chipset from the Korean tech giant's workshop, but many believed that it would be 5nm Exynos W920, with which the watch is fitted Galaxy Watch4.

Unlike the Exynos W9110, the Exynos 920 is built on a 10nm process and uses two Cortex-A53 cores (the Exynos W920 has faster Cortex-A55 cores). According to Samsung, the Exynos W920 is about 20% faster in the processor part than the Exynos 9110 and offers 10x better performance in the graphics part. Google is most likely using an older chipset because the development of the watch started a long time ago. If he had used the Exynos W920, the development and presentation of the watch would have been disproportionately delayed.

Of course, the chip is not everything for smart watches (and not only for them). For example, the Pixel 6 Tensor processor is built on a technically outdated chipset compared to Snapdragon processors. Just as important as the hardware itself is its optimization. The big question is how the four-year-old chip will affect the Pixel's battery life Watch (it supposedly has a capacity of 300 mAh).
