Google has been rumored to be interested in internal chip development which would give the company the ability to integrate their own SoCs into Pixel devices and directly compete with Apple’s “A” line of self-made processors. A new report today doubles down on Google’s in-house hardware plans, detailing how the tech giant is aggressively hiring engineers in India to assist with the development process.
Bengaluru, India, know colloquially as the “Silicon Valley” of India, is a major hub for the chip manufacturing industry. According to Reuters, the team leading Google’s quest for its own SoC, dubbed “gChips”, has hired at least 20 employees there over the past several months.
