Google Tensor chip specifications were discovered

In fact, some of the media mentioned before that Google’s self-developed Tensor chip will adopt the tri-cluster design common to current high-performance chips. However, according to the latest exclusive discovery by XDA Developers, Google’s tri-cluster design uses a completely different combination from those of Qualcomm Snapdragon. The Tensor chip has two Cortex-X1 cores, running at around 2.8GHz, while other chips have only one Cortex-X1 core. It seems that in terms of peak performance, Google’s self-study meeting is stronger, but it is very strange that the two large cores of the Tensor chip are actually the 2018 Cortex-A76, rather than the relatively new Cortex-A78.

It’s not clear why Google designed it this way. XDA Developers stated that they obtained this information of the Tensor chip from the upcoming Pixel 6 Pro real machine, and the arm Mail-G78 is used in the GPU part, which runs at 848MHz, and in the AI ​​acceleration calculation part, it is a TPU code-named abrolhos, which runs at 1.23GHz.

For other peripheral support, the Google Tensor chip also has a g5123b network baseband and an AV1 decoder, which can support 4K video decoding at up to 60fps. If it is in HEVC format, it can go to 8K, 30fps. In addition, it is said that the Tensor chip also supports aptX and aptX HD audio decoding.
