Google Tensor G3 Specifications Rumor Show Inferior CPU Configuration Compared To Upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

wccftech.com:

The Tensor G3 is expected to be found in the upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro later this year, and there is a possibility that the SoC will be previewed at next month’s I/O 2023 keynote. Before that, however, we are given a closer look at its specifications, or particularly, its CPU configuration, and just like on previous occasions, Google’s high-end chipset will not be able to compete with the likes of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Fortunately, there is a good chance that the Tensor G3 takes the fight to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, according to the CPU configuration shared by Revegnus. According to the revealed information, the upcoming SoC will feature a total of nine cores in the ‘1 + 4 + 4’ cluster, with the single core belonging to the Cortex-X3 at 3.30GHz. Next up, we have four Cortex-A715 cores running at 2.60GHz, while the remaining four belong to Cortex-A510.

Earlier, we reported that the Tensor G3 could be based on Samsung’s unreleased Exynos 2300, but unlike the latter, the G3 will continue to feature Mali GPU cores from ARM instead of featuring a custom-made solution made in collaboration with AMD. The tipster also shared information regarding the manufacturing process of the Tensor G3. Sadly, Google could be looking to shave off some costs by utilizing Samsung’s 4LPP process instead of the 4LPP+ technology that is rumored to be used for the upcoming Exynos 2400.
