With new phones we mostly get new chipsets -. and it’s time for a Tensor chip for Google’s Pixel line – Tensor G2. In spite of Google given us the moniker for its second-generation Tensor chip, it’s been tight-lipped about what to expect from the next generation. Early reports, however, have spilled over into some counties, and this new information gives us insight into the Tensor G2 Chips.
The information comes from a Twitter user Kuba Wojciechowski, a developer who has dug into Geekbench results of an alleged Google Pixel 7 Professionally. Tensor G2 will use the same CPU configuration as the previous ARM Cortex X1, A76 and A55 CPU cores in 2+2+4 configuration, and the developer attests to the same.
Google Tensor G2 Brings Small CPU Improvements
The two Cortex-X1 cores will run 50MHz faster, capped at 2.85GHz, while the two Cortex-A76 cores are clocked at 100MHz, running at 2.35GHz, based on Geekbench data. Meanwhile, the A55 quad-core cluster will be clocked at 1.80GHz.
The developer suggests that Tensor G2 will be manufactured on a 4nm process which, according to Samsung’s report, should bring about a 10% improvement in multi-core performance with no significant difference in single-core.
According to the developer, small improvements in performance shouldn’t be a cause for concern as Geekbench measures peak performance, not sustained performance. So Tensor G2 based on older ARM CPUs can be a plus as newer ARM designs have focused on providing maximum throughput at the expense of increased heat and power consumption.
New GPU for Tensor G2 . chips
As for the graphics unit, the Tensor G2 will feature the newer Mali-G78 MP20 GPU, as seen on the Dimensity 9000+ chipset. The GPU says it promises to be 20% faster and 20% more efficient than its predecessor in rendering graphics and 35% faster at machine learning tasks.
The developer says the new GPU will improve Google’s photography and gaming performance. The second-generation TPU, internally called Jaineiro, could bring minor improvements to AI processing. Alternatively, Tensor G2 could come with a redesigned Exynos-based ISP.
