Google to Launch Pixel 11 Series with Tensor G6 on TSMC 2nm GAA, Base Prices Up $100
Google will officially launch the Pixel 11 series on August 12, featuring the in-house Tensor G6 chip built on TSMC's first-generation 2nm N2 process, the company's first node using GAA transistor technology. Compared to N3E, N2 delivers 10-15% higher performance at the same power or 25-30% lower power at the same performance. TSMC's 2nm wafers cost nearly $30,000 each, up 50-66% from 3nm, and the foundry will raise prices further in early 2027. Combined with soaring memory costs, Google is raising base prices by $100 across the Pixel 11 lineup, including the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, while removing 128GB storage options for the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro.
