Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Google e e hoʻolaha i nā mea pani i ka Pixel 5 i ʻOkakopa i kēia makahiki. ʻO ʻOkakopa i hala aku nei, ua ʻōlelo ʻo CEO ʻo Google Sundar Pichai i ka manawa o ke kolu o ka makahiki 2020 ka loaʻa kālā a me ka lilo o ka hui ke hana nei i nā "hoʻopukapuka hohonu aku i nā lakohana" a he palapala alanui kupaianaha no 2021. I kēlā manawa, nui ka poʻe i manaʻoʻiʻo hiki i ka ʻoihana ke hana. ma kāna polokalamu ponoʻī, inoa inoa ʻia ʻo Whitechapel. Nā ʻike hou i hāʻawi ʻia e 9to5Google, hōʻike i nā kiʻi kiʻi Pixel, e hōʻike ʻia i ka hāʻule, hiki i waena o nā kiʻi uila mua me ka chipset "GS101" a Whitechapel. No laila, me he mea lā ʻaʻohe o Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC i ka moʻo Pixel 6.
E like me ka hoʻohana ʻana o Apple i kāna chipset ponoʻī no kāna mau polokalamu iPhone a me Mac, ke hana pū nei ʻo Google i kāna chipset ponoʻī no kāna mau kelepona paʻalima a me nā Chromebooks. ʻO nā lono mai ka wā mua o 2020 i ʻōlelo ai ua hiki iā Google ke kākoʻo iā Samsung i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana ʻo Whitechapel. Ua ʻike ʻia ka paʻi ʻana i kahi palapala e ʻōlelo ana e kiʻi ʻia nā kelepona Pixel i ka wā hāʻule me kahi mea lawelawe ʻo Whitechapel.
I loko, ua kapa ʻia ka pālima ʻo Whitechapel no nā kelepona Pixel hanauna hou e Google ma ke ʻano he "GS101," kahi e kū ai ʻo "GS" no "Google Silicon". ʻO ka Slider codename kuhikuhi ma ka polokalamu ʻo Google Camera i manaʻo ʻia he paepae maʻamau no ka Whitechapel SoC. Hōʻike nā huahana ʻē aʻe i pili me ka huaʻōlelo "Slider" e pili ana i ka chipset Samsung Exynos. Me he mea lā ke hana ʻia nei ka puʻupuʻu GS101 me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana nunui (SLSI) o ka pilikua ʻenehana Korea Hema. Kuhi kēia e hiki i nā ʻāpana a Google ke kaʻana like i kekahi mau hana me nā Samsung Exynos.
Wahi a ka puke paʻi, ʻo nā kelepona Google, codenamed Raven a me Oriole, i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia nā kelepona mua e mana ʻia e ka Slider platform. ʻO kēia mau kelepona hiki ke kiʻi Pixel 6 series smartphone.
Wahi a no nā mea hoʻomohala XDA, hiki ke hana ʻia ka GS101 ma ka pā me ka chipset Snapdragon 7-series. Hiki i ka ʻāpana 5nm ARM octa-core ke hoʻokomo i ʻelua pūnaehana unu Cortex-A78, ʻelua pahu Cortex-A76, a ʻehā ʻehā Cortex-A55, a me kahi GPU maʻamau ARM Mali. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā Pixel me kāna chipset ponoʻī e hāʻawi aku ai iā Google i ka kaohi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma luna o nā hoʻouka hoʻokele ʻoiai ʻaʻole e hilinaʻi ka ʻoihana iā Qualcomm e hana pēlā. Kūlike paha nā mea hoʻokele me nā mana hou o Android OS no kahi manawa lōʻihi. Kākoʻo nā mea Pixel i nā mea hou o ka Android OS no 3 mau makahiki. Hiki i nā kelepona Pixel e hiki mai ana me kā Chip ponoʻī o Google ke loaʻa he 5 mau hanauna o nā hōʻano OS.
