Google’s Tensor chips haven’t managed to win over performance enthusiasts even after four iterations. Despite the promise of enhanced power efficiency and better thermals with the upcoming Tensor G5, due to TSMC’s advanced manufacturing, the chip’s specs still fall short when benchmarked against competitors. For a comprehensive analysis, refer to our detailed Tensor G4 testing. The discussion around these chips continues to be lively within the tech community.
According to a significant leak from Google’s gChips division, which Android Authority has examined, the upcoming Tensor G6 chip for the Pixel 11 might bring only slight enhancements, or potentially even downgrades in certain aspects.
However, these design choices are driven by specific objectives. Before delving into the specifics of the Tensor G6’s specifications, it’s beneficial to understand the underlying reasons for its design, which are both intriguing and strategic.
This information is particularly fascinating because it represents aspects of Google’s internal strategy that are typically not discussed publicly. The insights provided are directly extracted from the documents to ensure the details remain true to the source.
