Pixel 8 Tipped to Run Slower Than Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Phones: Here’s Why

Pixel 8 collection is predicted to be unveiled by Google later this yr, and the specs of the handset have lately been tipped on-line. The successor to the Pixel 7 collection of smartphones is predicted to be powered by a next-generation chipset from Google, the Tensor G3. While the corporate hasn’t but introduced the specs of the processor that may energy the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, a current leak instructed that it’s going to characteristic 9 Arm cores and 10 GPU cores. Meanwhile, a benchmark of a tool outfitted with the Tensor G3 lately surfaced on-line giving us a glimpse at its efficiency.

Tipster Revegnus (Twitter: @Tech_Reve) lately posted a screenshot of a Geekbench itemizing for a tool titled “Google Factory build on Ripcurrent”. The itemizing is not current — it was posted on April 11 on the benchmarking web site. The itemizing reveals that the handset has a single-core rating of 1,186 and a multi-core rating of three,809 with the Geekbench 5.5.1 check. The specs of the processor additionally match a current leak of the specs of the purported Tensor G3, comprised of 9 cores in a 1+4+4 setup.

The Geekbench itemizing, nevertheless, reveals that the Tensor G3 chip may not carry substantial efficiency enhancements over the Tensor G2 SoC. In truth, the upcoming Nothing Phone 2 lately scored 1,253 and three,833 factors on Geekbench. This means that Google’s subsequent flagship smartphones shall be powered by a chip that’s slower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipsets.  

In truth, the Tensor G3’s purported benchmark scores recommend it’s only barely sooner than the lately launched mid-range Poco F5 smartphone that has scores of 1,121 and three,656 within the single-core and multi-core exams on Geekbench.

However, it’s price noting that Pixel smartphones powered by Tensor chipsets have by no means supplied efficiency throughout the realm of equally priced flagship Android handsets. Instead, these Tensor chips are designed to supply highly effective AI options, performing most of the machine studying duties on the machine, which implies they work with out entry to the Internet.

According to a current leak, the Tensor G3 on the Pixel 8 collection of smartphones shall be outfitted with 9 CPU cores with a 1+4+4 structure. The chipset will comprise one 3.00GHz Cortex-X3 core, 4 2.45GHz Cortex-A715 cores, and 4 2.15GHz Cortex-A510 cores. However, with the lately leaked scores, it’s at present unclear how a lot of a efficiency increase the brand new chipset will carry over final yr’s Tensor G2 SoC that powers the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
