They might be cooking up their own silicon, like Apple did when transitioning from the A-series chips to the M1. If that's the case, they'd definitely want to keep any low-level system tweaks or new APIs under wraps.
This whole situation also reminds me of the Manifest V3 drama with Chromium. They might be planning something similar and want to avoid the early headaches of public criticism.
Or maybe they're doing a bigger overhaul of Android's core, changing how apps can communicate and control each other (e.g., computer-user, Operator)!
Idk, I dnt want to be cynical fingers crossed.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- prossercj 2y agoDon't they already have their own silicon (Tensor)?
- Kirby64 2y agoKind of. If you look at the specs of the tensor chips they appear to essentially copy exactly what Qualcomm is doing. They use off the shelf ARM reference design cores packaged together the same way QC does. They’re also about a year behind QCs latest stuff. In comparison Apple (and the very very latest QC chipsets) use custom ARM cores. Google has yet to do this.
