Google's "custom" Tensor SoC might be just an unreleased Exynos

06 August 2021
The chipset will be manufactured by Samsung, but it seems like there's more to that company's participation in the project.

I probably wouldn't get your hopes up too high. It could be an old discarded Samsung washing machine chip that they no longer need, and are selling it to google for cheap... :p

    Who cares about the chip when the phone is fast and without bloatware? All i care about is the camera performance and AI

      I prsonally think they are pretty good
      I was expressjng my disappointment in not getting an in-house Google chipset

Countries like USA, Korea, Japan uses CDMA network, while rest of the world uses GSM and Exynos chipsets are designed only for GSM network.

            Google have to prove it wrong. Otherwise it might negatively affect Pixel 6 sales.

              Why everyone is dissapointed? The only custom thing in Tensor is its AI component, everything else is just a combination of Cortex core.

                To be honest I don't care if it's an unreleased exynos .
                As long it's fully optimized to use the SoC potential (many SoC nowadays have logic units and/or co-processor dedicated to "AI" computing that rarely get exploited) even if it's in the league of general computational power of a 870 it's more than enough an ihmo better than the faster but less efficient and hotter 888 that needs to be throttled anyway.
                Whatever it's likely that the computational power will be used in a more efficient way, like what Apple can do, and if the battery size are 4500-5000mah it's likely that it will have good performances and a very good battery life too , I'd say easily 2 days of normal use.

                      Mediatek has a flagship chipset to be set to unveil in late 2021. Waiting for that one over the 2200 and SD 898

                          It's funny how hard people stick to their opinions even though things change constantly. Exynos is NOT the same as it was a few years back lol it's MUCH MUCH better now as the 2100 is on par with 888 (and even better at some parts)

                            In terms of raw CPU power Exynos is now on par with SD. GPU-wise, Samsung may even be ahead due to AMD's input. But Qualcom is eons ahead of Samsung in everything else: WiFi, LTE, 5G, fast charing and last but not least bluetooth (aptX) ...in phones, all of that is far more important than CPU/GPU benchmarks :/

                              What?! Is a exynos chip..

                                  I am disappointed, I really believed too much that it was a chip specific to Google, when in reality it is a rotten Exynos, even if it was a Snapdragon it would have been the same for me ... All this hype for lies in the end, to vomit. I was ready to go to the checkout to buy myself the Pixel 6, but after that even though it is the best smartphone in video photo as they say, I will not buy it.
