We anticipate additional rumours and leaks to surface as we move closer to the actual release of the Google Pixel 7 series, which is just around the horizon. According to a recent claim, the business may have already started developing the chipset that would power the Pixel 8 series of smartphones in 2019.
Google and Samsung have reportedly been working on an updated Tensor processor, according to a GalaxyClub story. Or, to put it another way, Tensor 3 may be the successor model. The Ripcurrent developer board is being used to evaluate this third-generation Tensor chipset, which has the product number S5P9865. For those who don't know, the future Pixel 7's Tensor 2 chipset series is believed to have a model number S5P9855 and is being tested on a board codenamed Cloudripper.
The Tensor 3 chipset's finer features were not disclosed in the current report. It's safe to presume that it will have more power than its forerunners, though. The alliance with the South Korean tech titan also suggests that Google wants to enhance the general performance and processing capabilities of the next-generation Tensor processor for artificial intelligence.
The Tensor chip now comes with some fairly cool features, but in terms of raw performance, they cannot compete with Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The Tensor chips, though, might quickly catch up over the following few years. However, having a unique processor created just for their Pixel series of devices allows Google to specialise and tweak the chipset fortheir own smartphones alone.
