Old chip components could put the Pixel 8 at a disadvantage

Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, το επόμενο εσωτερικό τσιπ smartphone της Google δεν θα διαθέτει τους τελευταίους πυρήνες της Arm. Αυτό θα μπορούσε να θέσει τις φημολογούμενες Το Pixel 8 βρίσκεται σε μειονεκτική θέση έναντι της επόμενης σοδειάς τηλεφώνων Android, τα οποία πιθανότατα θα χρησιμοποιούν το chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Google's proprietary chips for smartphones της κατασκευάζονται σε συνεργασία με τη Samsung. Είναι χτισμένα γύρω από την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη και τη μηχανική μάθηση και δίνουν προτεραιότητα στην έξυπνη επεξεργασία έναντι της ακατέργαστης ενέργειας. Έτσι, παρόλο που Τα καλύτερα τηλέφωνα της Google είναι καλά για καθημερινές λειτουργίες, δεν είναι τόσο απίστευτα γρήγορα όσο τα κορυφαία τηλέφωνα της Apple και της Samsung.

The hatchling Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) suggests that the Tensor G3 will also lag behind the Apple A17 Bionic – which will power the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro – και το Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Pixel 3's Tensor G8 will be held back by old Arm processors

The leaker suggests that the Tensor G3 will have an Arm Cortex-X3 running at 3,3GHz, two Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2,6GHz and four Cortex-A510 cores running at speeds of up to 2,3 GHz.

Arm is reportedly planning to release new cores this year. If the Pixel 8 uses last year's CPU, it will be at a disadvantage compared to other Android devices. However, it would be a notable upgrade over the G2, which has two Cortex-X1 cores, two Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores.

Samsung will apparently manufacture the chip using the 4nm Process. It is expected to be faster than the Qualcomm 8 Gen 2, even though the latter has better specifications (one Cortex-X3 running at 3.19GHz, two Cortex-A715 performance cores running at 2.8GHz, two Cortex-710 cores running at 2.8GHz and three Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 2.0GHz).

Meanwhile, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which will arrive towards the end of the year, is rumored to have a new layout and new Arm processors. The chip is expected to have a primary core based on a new Arm Xn core codenamed Hunter, two Arm A7xx titanium cores, three Arm A7xx gold cores and two A5xx cores codenamed Hayes.

The main X4 core will run at 3.70GHz, which is 15% faster clock speed than the 3.20GHz frequency of the Cortex-X3 of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Needless to say, this will significantly improve the peak performance.

Chinese website My guides speculates that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could score 1,5 million points on benchmarking site AnTuTu, surpassing the current top performer, which boasts a score of 1,308,126.

The chip probably still won't be able to beat Apple's chip. That's because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is reportedly based on TSMC's N4P process, while the A17 Bionic will be built on the 3nm node.
