Google Pixel 8 Series Tensor G3 chip specs revealed

Google also introduced the Tensor G2 chipset with the Pixel 7 series. This 5nm chip was also used in the Pixel 7a that was introduced last month, and the Pixel Fold also uses it. Now, new information about the next generation of Google chips, ie Tensor G3 Codenamed zuma is expected to be released later this year, the series Pixel 8 Be introduced with the benefit of them.

according to Released information from this chipsetthe G3 tensor apparently has 9 processor cores It will consist of four Cortex-A510 cores, four Cortex-A715 cores and one high-performance Cortex-X3 core with a frequency of 3.0 GHz.

Pixel 8 series chip graphic processor upgrade

In the continuation of the report, it is said that the Tensor G3 uses the Arm Mali-G715 graphics processor, which is a significant upgrade compared to the seven-core Mali-G710 graphics processor of the previous generation. Although the sources of this report did not specify the exact number of cores in this processor, it is said that the G715 will have 10 cores, which will bring the ray tracing feature that is already available in flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to Pixel users.

Another major change in the Tensor G3 is that it only comes with 64-bit apps by default, while Tensor G2-equipped phones like the Pixel 7 offered 32-bit apps. Many developers have been waiting for this change in Android for a long time.

Among the most interesting features mentioned for Google’s new chip is the AV1 video encoding system, which makes the Pixel 8 one of the first devices to offer it. There will also be an all-new TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) in the Tensor G3, which will be dubbed the Mez Rio. It’s reportedly clocked at 1.1GHz, and not much is known about it at the moment.
