Some Android Authority readers noticed that the Pixel 7’s Tensor G2 CPU features Samsung Foundry’s 5nm technology. The industry’s cutting-edge CPUs are now constructed on 4nm nodes from Samsung and TSMC and are slated to reach 3nm in the following generation.
Some publishers base articles on rumours, blind expectations, or someone else’s inaccurate answer. Some commenters have used screenshots from Android hardware apps to validate their preexisting beliefs, even though manufacturing information isn’t included in Android system files. One funny screenshot has the wrong CPU cores. Everyone makes errors.
We contacted Google for our original article as usual. We contacted the Tensor G2 developer to settle the dispute. Google told Android Authority:
We purpose-built Google Tensor G2 for real-world use cases. Our final architecture, which includes 5nm, helped us reach that goal while increasing both performance and power efficiency. This approach also allowed us to add new capabilities while taking a step forward on machine learning with our next generation TPU with G2.
Some Unique features
Tensor G2 employs Samsung Foundry’s 4nm LPE, an advance from 5nm LPE last year. It has two 2.85GHz ARM Cortex-X1 cores, two 2.35GHz ARM Cortex-A78 cores, and four 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A55 cores. Tensor G2 employs ARM’s latest Mali-G710 GPU for enhanced gaming and HDR. It has Google’s Titan M2 chip and EdgeTPU 2 (for AI processing).
It contains LPDDR5 RAM, 4MB shared L3 cache, and 8MB total system cache. Thanks to an upgraded ISP, all cameras can record 4K 60fps. It supports 108MP cameras without shutter lag. Other changes include unblurring photos (even older ones), portrait films, and Super-Res Zoom for images and videos.
The chipset includes Samsung’s Exynos 5300 5G modem, revealed last week. This new modem’s specs are unknown, although it should be speedier and more energy-efficient. First-generation Tensor chipsets devoured batteries faster. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and USB Type-C 3.2 also included.
