Amidst speculations, though leakers refrain from confirming the manufacturing process, there's a strong likelihood that Tensor G3 will adopt the cutting-edge 4nm 3rd-gen process. This advanced process promises improved performance and energy efficiency, particularly in multi-core capabilities, with Google introducing additional processing cores to Tensor G3.
However, it's advisable not to set overly ambitious expectations for superior performance, considering Google's custom chips have never garnered high praise compared to their competitors.
As per predictions, despite possessing more processing cores, Tensor G3's performance is anticipated to fall between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The standout feature of the new processor lies in its GPU transition, as Google shifts from ARM's Mali GPU to the Xclipse 930.
For those unaware, the predecessor, Xclipse 920, was a GPU collaboration between Samsung and AMD for Exynos 2200. However, Xclipse 920 fell short of expectations in terms of performance. Nevertheless, there's optimism that Xclipse 930 can address these concerns.
Expect at least Xclipse 930 to ensure better performance compared to ARM's Mali GPU. Google typically doesn't prioritize graphic processing performance when compared to chipsets from Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others.
In general, successfully developing their own SoC for flagships has been Google's outstanding achievement. Hopeful that we will soon witness products delivering superior performance in the future from the company.
