Google Tensor G3 to Bring Big Performance Improvements: Report

Google is extremely anticipated to unveil the Pixel 8 sequence smartphones in October this 12 months. Google’s next-generation branded SoC — Tensor G3, codenamed Zuma, is predicted to energy the upcoming Pixel household. The tech big didn’t preview the Tensor G3 at its Google I/O keynote this 12 months, however the specification of this chipset has surfaced by means of a brand new leak. The Tensor G3 SoC might use the 1+4+4 CPU setup with ARMv9 cores. It will seemingly include ARM Mali-G715 GPU with 10 cores and a frequency of 890MHz. It might help AV1 encode capabilities as properly.

As per a report by Android Authority’s Kamila Wojciechowska, the Tensor G3 SoC will see massive enhancements. As per the report, the Tensor G3 will function 9 CPU cores with a 1+4+4 structure. Last 12 months’s Tensor G2 has a 4+2+2 core structure. With the most recent chipset, Google is alleged to rearchitect the whole CPU block to make use of the 2022 ARMv9 core.

The new CPU will reportedly have a single Cortex-X3 core working at 3.00GHz, 4 Cortex-A715 cores with a default frequency of two.45GHz, and 4 Cortex-A510 cores with a frequency of two.15GHz. It might pack ARM Mali-G715 GPU with 10 cores and a frequency of 890MHz. This can be a serious improve from the seven-core Mali-G710 graphics unit of Tensor G2.

The Tensor G3 reportedly be the primary smartphone SoC to supply AV1 encode capabilities. This would enable Samsung Multi-Function Codec (MFC) to help 8K30 video decoding and encoding in H.264 and HEVC.

Additionally, the Tensor G3 will reportedly embrace a brand new model of the TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) codenamed “Rio” working at 1.1GHz. The next-generation TPU is predicted to be a substantial improve over Tensor G2’s “Janeiro” TPU working at 1.0GHz.

Tensor G3 can also be anticipated to function a second-generation digital sign processor (DSP) or GXP with the codename “Callisto”. It may embrace a brand new model of Samsung’s UFS controller to help UFS 4.0 storage as properly.

Google could proceed to make use of the identical Exynos Modem 5300 from the Tensor G2 within the new SoC. Even although the Pixel 8 sequence is alleged to get a barely totally different variant.

We’re nonetheless months away from the Pixel 8’s anticipated arrival. Specifications-wise, the Pixel 8 sequence could possibly be fairly just like the Pixel 7 sequence and they’re tipped to help 12W wi-fi charging.
