The upcoming Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are set to receive a major upgrade in the form of the leaked Tensor G3 chip. According to Android Authority, a source inside Google has revealed the details of this chipset, providing insights into its features and capabilities.
The Tensor G3 will reportedly use 2022 ARMv9 cores, which are more modern than those found in its predecessor, the Tensor G2. It will have a mix of cores, comprising a powerful Cortex X3 core, four Cortex-A715 cores, and four Cortex-A510 ones, allowing for a balance between power and energy consumption.
Along with its powerful new cores, the Tensor G3 will feature a new Arm Immortalis-G715 GPU, enabling ray tracing, and support for 8K video recording. The AI improvements are also set to be significant, with a new TPU running at 1.1GHz and an upgraded DSP for better photography.
The Tensor G3 chipset is also set to support new security technologies while ensuring 64-bit only capability, giving better performance. However, it has been noted that the chipset will use the Exynos Modem 5300, which was known for having thermal and power consumption issues in the past.
Overall, the Tensor G3 chip promises a significant upgrade from the previous generation, offering a balance of power and energy consumption while also providing improvements in AI, photography, and video recording capabilities. The Pixel 8 lineup is set to launch in October, and with this powerful new chip, it is sure to make a good impression on Google’s loyal users.
