Google's own processor Tensor runs out for the first time, so is Pixel 6 like this?

I don’t know why Google hasn’t used the flagship processor for a long time, so it has begun to be rejected by consumers, but it suddenly announced that it will use its own flagship processor in the next generation of its flagship Pixel 6 series. The Tensor processor developed, perhaps like Apple, uses its own processors to make the best products of its own.

Although the official commercial name of this SoC is not yet known, there are rumors that it is a collaboration between Samsung and Google. Earlier, it was expected that it would adopt the new ARM Cortex-X1 design like other flagship processors in 2021. As for the performance of this processor? Recently, a model named “Google Pixel 6 Pro” directly exposed its processor architecture and performance on the running sub-platform Geekbench 5.

In terms of architecture, it is very different from other Cortex-X1 architecture processors, including 2 Cortex-X1, 2 Cortex-A76, and 4 Cortex-A55 cores . Single-core 881 and multi-core 2938 are running points. From the point of view of running points alone, it can already catch up with Snapdragon 865 SoC. Single-core is close to Snapdragon 888, but there is a huge gap in multi-core. However, as Google’s first mass-produced processor, it can Such results are quite good, and from the design of this processor, it seems that “there is another picture.”

Of course, the processor can’t just look at the performance of the running score. Power and heat are also the key points. In terms of architecture, the two high-performance X1 cores, Compared with other single Cortex-X1 architecture processors, it has obvious advantages, but the old A76 is really not very good in power consumption. As for the four A55s, it has no selling point. In general, the actual performance and power consumption of the Tensor processor are still hard to say.

As for whether the processor supports 5G network, there is no definite news (it should not be unsupported), but as Google’s own mobile phone , The possibility that the system will upgrade the processor software in the future is very high, so the temporary running score may not be the best result. All the truth is expected to be revealed at the Google Fall Hardware Conference announced in a few weeks, so stay tuned .
