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.

Funny how one of the criticisms against the Xiaomi 13T Pro I posted about a few days ago was the Dimensity 9200+ SOC.

I've never heard anybody complain about the SOC in Pixel phones.

Yet the Dimensity 9200+ SOC in the Xiaomi 13T Pro is way faster and more efficient than Tensor G2 in the Pixel 7, and remains faster and more efficient than Tensor G3 in the Pixel 8. In fact it's only beat by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on Android.

"except for the SOC" https://lemmy.world/post/6513457 Top comment, 9 upvotes?

But no one comments about the way weaker SOC for the Pixel phone?!?!

So a slightly weaker SOC in the Xiaomi 13T Pro than the absolute best in any Android phone is worse, than a way worse SOC in the Pixel 8 Pro that is way more expensive?

The Pixel 8 Pro Tensor G3 doesn't even match the 2 years older Snapdragon 8 gen 1 which came out in q4 2021.
