Google Tensor G3 appears in a new entry with 9-core CPU

Slated to equip the Pixel 8 line, the Google Tensor G3 has reappeared in the rumors with a 9-core CPU that could surpass the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

it should be the Pixel 8 family processorThe Google Tensor G3 got new entries this week that reinforce its inspiration in Exynos’ lineup SAMSUNG, as well as the use of an unprecedented CPU configuration. Apparently, the new generation of the platform would try to differentiate itself from the other components by having 9 cores, a combination that could make it faster than Snapdragon 8 Gen 2if there are no production problems.

The information comes through the leaker revegnusresponsible for many of the recent rumors related to Samsung et al Google, and indicate that the Tensor G3 will feature a curious 9-core configuration. The most modern chipsets, including solutions from Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung itself only uses 8 cores, and it would be the first time in years of the Helio X family that barrier would be broken.

In the case of the new Tensor, we would have these structures distributed in a group of 1 + 4 + 4, with 1 Cortex-X3 at maximum performance at 3.3 GHz, 4 Cortex-A715 at 2.6 GHz and 4 at high Cortex-A510 efficiency running at 2.3 GHz. In addition to the already mentioned amount and very high clocks, the use of recent ARM cores also draws attention: previous generations they had chosen to use older models, betting on more modern lithographs to present improvements.

Speaking of performance, revegnus he believes the new combination could have the strength to surpass the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm’s latest chip found in nearly every Android flagship in 2023, and current performance and efficiency champion. However, the leaker cautions that everything must depend on how much better the 4nm lithography, called 4LPP, that Samsung will use to produce the Tensor G3 will be.

It’s no secret that the South Korean giant has been working to improve its manufacturing processes — and by extension the Exynos familywhich may be back soon – heavily criticized for years for low power, energy efficiency and transistor density compared to Apple’s rivals. TSMC extensionand apparently it’s possible we’ll see these improvements already play a notable role in Google’s new chip.

More interesting is that Samsung’s involvement with the Tensor G3 is expected to go beyond production, as it has also indicated. revegnus in your post. Responding to another user, the informant reinforced old rumors that the processor it would be a modified version of the Exynos 2300, a canceled component that was supposed to be used in the Galaxy S23 family. That said, contrary to expectations, we shouldn’t be seeing a GPU OMG.

Graphics processing would be the responsibility of the new ARM Mali-G715, a simpler variant of the Immortalis-G715 Used on MediaTek Dimensity 9200for example, no access to ray tracing technology and with fewer cores, in this case set to 8. Its performance should be much more robust than the Mali-G710 of the Tensor G2, but it should not pose a threat to the powerful Adreno 740 of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

We are expected to have official news very soon, considering Google’s recent strategy of releasing teasers of its releases well in advance. The Tensor G3 and its first details are very likely to be announced as early as this month, during Google I/O 2023the search giant’s annual developer event set for May 10.
