Tensor G4 of Google Pixel 9 shows only a slight performance bump on leaked benchmarks
Meh, who cares about performance benchmarks for phones?
I'm much more interested to see how power efficient Tensor 4 is, and whether or not they've fixed the connectivity issues.
Knowing Google, they will be fixed when the phone is released then broken after the first software update and never addressed again.
I miss the Nexus concept. There were some whiffs, but then wins like the Nexus 6. Having a vendor juggle was always fascinating, and they mostly used good modems.
Performance and battery life are deeply connected. Race to idle is how almost everything is designed around.
Performance matters. The tensor chipsets throttle heavily because they have bad thermals and they cannot sustain their performance after just 3 minutes of mild to heavy use. After 10 minutes they perform worse than midrange snapdragon processors. It would be different if pixels were cheap. But, unfortunately they are not. Making this alongside connectivity issues a sore point for pixels.
seriously. if Samsung was rootable I'd never get pixel.
Right, but these new benchmarks don't speak to that, do they?
The thermals between the different Tensors are not the same. The G3 is made on a smaller manufacturing node and it's significantly more power efficient in daily use.
The a-series are priced at the mid range and they also use the same chipsets as the more expensive Pixels.
I'm pretty sure they're just treading water this year, and focusing on their in-house design for the Tensor G5 in 2025. Hopefully it doesn't break Graphene support.
I though G4 was supposed to bring a big improvement to the modem, or is that going to be G5?
