Google may be gearing up to power its line of phones and laptops with a processor made in-house. The chip is reportedly code-named 'Whitechapel' and may be an eight-core ARM processor made using method developed by Samsung. Google's processor would power its line of Pixel phones and Chromebook laptops according to a report from Axios. By transitioning to its own chip, Google would mirror one of its biggest competitors, Apple, which designs its own line of A-series processors for the iPhone. If Apple's success is any indication, Google may be able to amp up subsequent phones and computers' speed and overall functionality.
