Google teamed up with Samsung once again to build the Tensor G3, the chipset that powers the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It comes out of Samsung’s 4nm foundries and features a 9-core CPU (1x Cortex-X3 + 4x A715 + 4x A510) and an ARM Mali-G715 GPU.

    Personally, I stopped caring about benchmarks years ago. Real world usability and, more importantly, battery life are what make or break a phone for me.

      I don’t really care about benchmark, however I care about modem specs and hardware and the 8 modem is definitely lacking.

      Benchmarks could become interesting in seven years when the Pixel 8 will still get software support. Making this big promise and starting off with this mediocre SoC is either brave or…not very foreseeing.

      That’s quite a bottleneck and efficiency can’t tackle every software challenge from here to the year 2030.

      Wasn’t there already a feature or two that the “old” Pixel predecessor won’t receive?

      I want a good GPU in my phone. I like playing games sometimes and generally keep my phones for many years. I don’t want a phone that turns into a toaster when I play TD6 on it.
