The leaks about Google’s Pixel chip roadmap proceed with the core configurations, in addition to different specs, for the Tensor G5 and G6 rising in the present day.
Based on Android Authority, the Tensor G5’s CPU (TSMC’s N3E node) will reportedly proceed to make use of the Arm Cortex-X4 that was launched this yr, with G4 having a 1+3+4 configuration.
Compared, Tensor G5 (codenamed “Laguna” after the seaside) is 1+5+2 with 5 efficiency/center Cortex-A725 (from A720) and two Cortex-A520 (unchanged).
On the GPU entrance, Tensor G5 goes from Arm Mali to 1 made by Creativeness Applied sciences, which Apple used a number of years in the past earlier than going in-house, that helps ray tracing and GPU virtualization for accelerated graphics in digital machines.
Lastly, on the TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) aspect, Google’s benchmarks tout a 14% efficiency enchancment.
Notebookcheck revealed the identical Tensor G5 specs, but additionally has particulars about Tensor G6 (TSMC N3P), which matches from 1+5+2 to a 1+6 core configuration and is codenamed “Malibu.” The flagship core is the unannounced Arm Cortex-X930 (which can presumably be branded because the “X5”). Equally, there’s the unreleased Cortex-A730. The dearth of effectivity cores would match the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with Qualcomm discovering the efficiency cores are greater than environment friendly.
There’s additionally a more recent Creativeness Applied sciences GPU that consumes 15% much less energy.
As with the primary leak, which a number of events now seem to have, it’s unclear how up-to-date this info is.
