Samsung Galaxy S25 to borrow Google's TPU for smoother and faster AI performance

Samsung’s long-awaited “Dream Chip,” the Exynos 2500, promises to revolutionize AI performance in the Galaxy S25 series – and a significant portion of the credit goes to Google. According to reports, Samsung is partnering with Google to integrate the search giant’s advanced Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) into its next-generation mobile chipset.

While Samsung has invested heavily in developing its own Neural Processors (NPUs) and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) in previous Exynos chipsets, these efforts have lagged behind in boosting real-world AI performance within the Android framework. With this partnership, Samsung hopes that Google’s TPU, coupled with its powerful Machine Learning APIs, will unlock the full potential of AI-driven tasks on Galaxy S25 devices equipped with the Exynos 2500 chipset.

If true, the integration of Google’s TPU promises a seamless AI experience on the Galaxy S25 series. After Samsung updates its One UI software with enhancements like the Galaxy AI Model and Android Machine Learning Interface, Galaxy devices will interact with AI-powered features more fluidly. The TPU will kick in seamlessly whenever apps utilize Google’s ML API code, ensuring optimal performance.

While the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to feature a special “Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy” chipset, it seems the Galaxy S25 and S25+ will likely boast the Google AI-boosted Exynos 2500. This strategic move reinforces Google’s dominance in the AI space, positioning its technology as the key enabler of next-generation Android experiences on Samsung’s flagship devices.
