Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency (m.gsmarena.com)

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.

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?
