TL;DR
- A major leaker has revealed that the Tensor G7 processor is codenamed Lajolla.
- This chipset is expected to be used in Pixel 12 phones in 2027.
- This leak comes a few months ahead of the Pixel 11 launch window.
Google will launch the Pixel 11 series later this year, and we’ve already heard a lot of details about the Tensor G6 processor powering these phones. Now, it turns out that we’ve already got our first leak for the Pixel 12’s processor.

mysticleaks on telegram It has been revealed that the Tensor G7 processor, which is expected to appear in Pixel 12 phones, is codenamed Lajolla or LaJolla. This is likely a reference to the La Jolla area of San Diego.
This internal name would be in keeping with the firm’s recent Tensor codename, which also refers to areas of California. For example, the Tensor G5 seen in Pixel 10 phones was codenamed Laguna, while the upcoming Tensor G6 is codenamed Malibu.
We don’t know much else about the Tensor G7 at the moment, but I’d bet it may once again use TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing process. I really hope this chip can outperform the flagship processors from Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung. But don’t hold your breath for it, as Google emphasizes AI capabilities more than raw performance.
In any case, there is no shortage of Tensor G6 leaks. The Pixel 11’s chip is expected to pack a 2nm TSMC design, a seven-core 4.11GHz CPU, PowerVR CXTP-48-1536 graphics, and a MediaTek M90 modem. The processor is also tipped to offer an advanced security chip, TPU, and image signal processor.
