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.

Benchmarks could become interesting in seven years when the Pixel 8 will still get software support. Making this big promise and starting off with this mediocre SoC is either brave or…not very foreseeing.
That’s quite a bottleneck and efficiency can’t tackle every software challenge from here to the year 2030.
Wasn’t there already a feature or two that the “old” Pixel predecessor won’t receive?
