Pixel 8 is months away, but it looks as usual in the world Google leaked Tensor G3. It will be System on Chip that will power the company’s new premium phones, and these phones will once again be manufactured by Samsung, which has developed both the Tensor G1 and Tensor G2 (which assembles the freshly baked Pixel 7a) under Google’s instructions.
Although they are good processors, was fundamentally outdated Compared to competitors from Qualcomm, MediaTek and above all Apple, but It looks like they will grill all the meat with the Tensor G3. and indeed, if the leaks are true, it will have a nine-core configuration.
A strange configuration with ARMv9 architecture and finally on top of the high end
First of all, you have to give credit to the leak. And this is something it has achieved thanks to the Android Authority environment. An internal contact at Google. Although it seems reliable, as we always say, the leak is not official, you have to wait for the official presentation no matter how insider the source is.
However, it looks like the Tensor G3 won’t be born outdated like the previous two generations. It will be built with ARMv9 cores, yes, it’s not as advanced as ARMv9.2 with its Cortex X4 (we’ll see this on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, supposedly due at the end of October), but it’s not bad at all.
An interesting thing is the core set. And the thing is, from 2 + 2 + 4 (two power, two balanced and four low consumption), it seems 1+4+4 configuration, this is a single core 3GHz Cortex X3. According to the leak, the Tensor G3 cores will look like this compared to previous generations:
|
Tensioner G3 |
Tensioner G2 |
tensor |
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
performance cores |
1 Cortex X3 at 3 GHz |
2 Cortex X1 at 2.85 GHz |
2 Cortex X1 at 2.8 GHz |
|
balanced cores |
4 Cortex A715 @ 2.45 GHz |
2 Cortex A78 at 2.3 GHz |
2 Cortex A76 @ 2.25 GHz |
|
productivity cores |
4 Cortex A510 @ 2.15 GHz |
4 Cortex A55 at 1.8 GHz |
4 Cortex A55 at 1.8 GHz |
A much more ambitious configuration for the processor and it will come with it. A Mali-G715 GPU with 10 cores and a frequency of 890 MHz. This GPU is capable of calculating ray tracing in real time, so it will be an important step forward in terms of graphics power, and speed will also be one of the keys, thanks to the implementation of UFS 4.0 storage.
Migration to ARMv9 architecture after other improvements It may not get as much attention as the storage and speed of both GPU and CPU, but it is certainly relevant. For a start, Tensor G3 will come with new security encryption Like the memory tagging extension that preserves this component and is not yet implemented in Android.
Moreover, It will be one more step towards Google’s goal of moving Android completely to 64-bit.Forgetting 32-bit apps. On the other hand, the emphasis has been on artificial intelligence capabilities since the first Tensor was presented, and this will continue into the third generation.
According to the leak, The artificial intelligence chip will operate at a frequency of 1.1 GHz (The Tensor G2 ran at 1 GHz), but the source did not elaborate on improvements over the previous generation or whether there will be new AI applications in this SoC.
Now all that remains is to see what happens in the coming months, and above all, Look forward to the official presentation of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. If the calendar of the last years is fulfilled, we should know about the new phones between September and October and we will be here to tell you all the news.
