The Pipit foldable was powered by the first-generation Tensor (G1) processor and the Exynos Modem 5123. This information supports the idea that Google initially planned to launch the Pipit foldable alongside the Pixel 6 series.
Google changed the Pixel Slate's processor due to delays in Intel's Cannon Lake processors. The Pixel Slate was initially developed as "Meowth" with Cannon Lake processors, but when the processors were delayed, Google rebuilt the Pixel Slate on older Intel processors as "Nocturne."
The Pixel Slate's development codename changed from "Meowth" to "Nocturne" due to a mid-development shift. This occurred when Google rebuilt the Pixel Slate on older Intel processors instead of the initially planned Intel's Cannon Lake processors. This type of codename change has happened before in Google's development process.
