Its efficiency is comparable to the Dimensity 9200 (same GPU but with more cores and fabbed by TSMC rather than Samsung), but it delivers lower frame rates in tests.
Google teamed up with Samsung once again to build the Tensor G3, the chipset that powers the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It comes out of Samsung’s 4nm foundries and features a 9-core CPU (1x Cortex-X3 + 4x A715 + 4x A510) and an ARM Mali-G715 GPU.
Google really wrestles with either making the Pixel a flagship phone or a cheap and cheerful mass market model and it shows. Their last few attempts seem to end up with something that is a mushy pile of “okay”
Recently they’ve been making a pro, a regular, and an “A” version of their phones. I think pixel should be the premium line and they should alternate regular and pro models every other year. Then create a lower spec cheaper model, under new branding, that comes out every three years. Maybe bring back the Nexus line.
