Very exciting. I wonder if this means we’ll get some competitive benchmarks instead of the generation or two behind we have been seeing.
- Well, by the time the Pixel 10 comes out, it'll be 2 generations after the iPhone that used a SoC from TSMC's 3nm node (the A17, used in iPhone 15 Pro, launched September 2023). I'd imagine it'll have caught up some, but will still behind while Apple is presumably launching something from TSMC's 2nm or A14 node at the same time.
  
  It’s definitely a moving target and I can see a world where it stays in the same relative position. Moving to a better node is a necessary but not sufficient condition to be competitive.
I hope they fix the overheating and poor battery performance on Pixels. I had Pixel 6 and now Pixel 8 and both have the same problem
- Sounds like you have some weird apps installed, never had this problem on my 6.
  
  No, I use GrapheneOS and all my apps are very basic and open source, I dont have Google Play services too and the battery life is poor.
  
  This is a common, well known, well documented problem. Before Lemmy or was a regular subject on Reddit. Pretty sure every Pixel has had this problem (though I'm not 100% on that)
The Pixel 9 already feels outdated and obsolete and it's not even released yet
- shrugs at 6a that is arguably already more performance than I need in a phone
  
  Exactly, phones have become appliances. I have a 6p and I can't imagine anything else I need...
- Based on? Lmao
  
  I don't understand your question
