Tensor G4 for Pixel 9 could be built by Samsung Foundry

19 September 2023
TSMC reportedly declined the deal because of the low expected yield.

Sort by:

just by seeing the "built by Samsung Foundry", you should be warned and informed about the (lack of) efficiency of this chip.

    George399, 19 Sep 2023It will be on pair with A17 Yes A17 but cortex :-)

      Since pixels arent my forte because they are far more expensve than they should be for what they offer it does not matter at least for me who would be chip maker.

        Use a Dimensity 7200 or 8200 instead of coming with Google's own name for crap Exynos.

          Good luck to those who thinking about buying Pixel 9
          🤷🏻‍♂️

            hahahahahaaa comedy gold!

              The 8 Pro is a decent upgrade over the 7 Pro even just apart from the G3 being a pretty big leap over the G2 but the camera will be better, same with the screen. Unless the 9 Pro upgrades in other key areas while the chipset is close to the G3, I will likely skip it and get the 10 Pro.

                  Since I have been out of the loop: does anyone knows if either Pixel 7 or Pixel 7a overheats? I read about such issues on Pixel 6, but not much on Pixel 7....

                    They should go the Dimensity way. Just give this own SoC thing a break.

                      Would be a furnace.
                      With 2 hrs of SoT.

                        Is Google actively trying to sabotage themselves lol

                          I thought it was going to be equipped with the brand new kirin 9000s

                              Anton., 19 Sep 2023It doesn't matter, Google makes the money out of that,... morePhone business is small.
                              It is not good to google from financial point of view.

                              Majority of current sales are A series.
                              Pixel 8 Pro is tipped to be about €1000 for base 128GB.
                              With qualcomm chip , than it would be almost €1200.

                              Who would pay like €1090 for 128gb pixel 8 pro?

                                The Android Freak, 19 Sep 2023Same here.Here too, I am satisfied with good heat dissipation and that it is at the level of an 8 gen 1

                                      Zero chance google does that.

                                      Tensynos 2 was $40.
                                      8+g1 was $120. Now 8g2 is $160.

                                        At least using Mediatek, this can increase existing Dimensity 9000 series.
