Google Tensor G3

Released Oct 12, 2023Mobile Chipset

The nine-core oddball of 2023: a lone Cortex-X3 leads four A715s and four A510s, all serving Google's Edge TPU ambitions in the Pixel 8. AI features dazzled; raw speed and the Samsung 4nm node stayed distinctly mid-tier.

Pros

  • Nine-core CPU with a Cortex-X3 lead
  • Faster Edge TPU for on-device AI
  • Excellent Pixel 8 computational photography
  • First mobile chip with AV1 encode

Cons

  • Samsung 4nm node runs warm
  • Mid-tier GPU performance
  • External modem drains battery on weak signal
