Axios, a news site, said, 'Google is slated to complete its own processor for the Pixel series in the future by 2021 at the earliest. In addition, the evolution of this processor will be applied to the Chromebook. This move is important because it could give Google an edge in the competition with Apple, which is already designing and developing its own chips, and at the same time is a major pain for Qualcomm. It will be handy. '

Even the leak information in March 2020 suggests that Google will not adopt Qualcomm's latest mobile processor ' Snapdragon 865 ' in the next mainstay smartphone, the Pixel 5 series.
