We already know that Google is engaged on the Pixel 7 sequence. The corporate didn’t want to substantiate that, however it did again in Could when introduced that each Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch are coming later this yr. As typical, the Pixel 7 smartphones are leaking round. Just lately, a prototype even made its technique to the realms of eBay. Just lately, one other prototype, a bricked Google Pixel 7 professional, was utilized by the Google Information-Telegram Group. Due to this, the oldsters have been in a position to uncover some data concerning the upcoming fashions.

Tensor 2 is not going to convey a big leap in efficiency for the Pixel 7 sequence

The Pixel 7 Professional was bricked, however apparently, in a delicate brick mode. The group managed to extract boot logs, combining these, they’ve found that the Google Tensor 2 chipset options ARM Cortex-A55 cores. These are often the choices for the “low-performance” or “power-efficient” cluster in Octa-Core preparations. Nonetheless, there’s a massive downside with this. If there’s a Cortex-A55 cluster contained in the Tensor 2, then, it makes use of the outdated ARMv8 structure. At the moment, flagship chipsets have already made their transfer to the ARMv9 structure, and that one has the ARM Cortex-A510 core normal. In consequence, the Tensor 2 will probably be behind the competitors when it comes to efficiency because it makes use of ARMv8-based efficiency cores.

The logs additionally revealed that the Tensor 2 will hold the two + 2 + four CPU core configuration. The unique had two Cortex-X1 cores, two A76, and 4 A55 cores. In consequence, the best efficiency the Tensor 2 will convey is achieved with the identical Cortex-X1, because the X2 makes use of ARMv9 structure. The A55 cores are additionally there, so the one doable “improve” will probably be if Google decides to swap the outdated A76 cores for the A78 cores within the Pixel 7 sequence. The ARM Cortex-A78 cores are the most recent ARMv8 medium cores.

In the long run, the Pixel 7 sequence with Tensor 2 SoC is not going to convey vital efficiency will increase. Maybe, the corporate will enhance issues with GPU and different co-processors. Anyway, Google’s purpose with the Pixel sequence was by no means to supply the best efficiency. The prototype additionally has an S6E3HC4 show from Samsung. It’s a slight improve over the Pixel 6 Professional, however we anticipate the cellphone to maintain a 120 Hz refresh fee and QHD+ decision. Though some rumors recommend a Full HD+ panel.
