Google claims that self-developed Tensor SoC will have 80% performance improvement

In Google’s introduction two months ago, it has confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will use self-developed Tensor SoC, focusing on AI acceleration, improving the experience of photo effects, face recognition, and item recognition. It is said that Google’s Pixelbook 2, which replaces PixelBook Go, will also use Tensor SoC.

According to Wccftech reports, Google recently stated that Tensor SoC can provide 80% performance improvement in internal benchmark tests, therefore, the loading speed of the application will be faster, the game response will be faster, and it can also save power and have longer battery life. Google’s statement is rather vague. First, there is no specific comparison object, and second, there is no specific project. There is speculation that perhaps Google is comparing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G used on the Pixel 5. In addition to supporting 5G networks, the performance of the Snapdragon 765G as a mid-range product is relatively ordinary.


Tensor has attracted attention as Google’s first self-developed SoC, except for its built-in new generation TPU that is curious, the rumored unique dual Cortex-X1 super-large core triple cluster design is also one of the reasons, which is different from the existing SoC design commonly used in mobile phones. At present, the SoCs used by various manufacturers in the high-end smartphone market are relatively similar, and there have been no impressive products for a long time. This is one of the reasons why many users look forward to Google Tensor and Samsung Exynos 2200.

Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 are basically the same in configuration. Pixel 6 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz punch-hole screen, and Pixel 6 is a 6.4-inch FHD+ screen with a refresh rate of only 90Hz and a straight screen. Both products have built-in under-screen fingerprint technology. It is said that Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 will be released in October of this year, and will not be available until the end of the year.
