Main specs of Google Tensor G3 chipset leaked

Purported specs of the Google Tensor G3 chipset have been leaked by Android Authority.

According to its source, the Google Tensor G3 is rearchitectured to use 2022 ARMv9 cores; it will have four Cortex-A510s, four Cortex-A715s, and a Cortex-X3, all of which have higher frequencies than the Tensor G1/G2.

Another major change is the Tensor G3 shipping with 64-bit binaries. This is quite different from the Tensor G2, which dropped support for 32-bit apps but retain 32-bit libraries onboard. This means the Tensor G3 will only support 64-bit apps.

The Tensor G3 is reportedly equipped with an "Immortalis" version of the G715 GPU, which has a ten-core configuration and ray-tracing capabilities.

Other notable features unclude the support for AV1 encoding up to 4K30, a new Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) known internally as "Rio" with a clock speed of 1.1GHz, support for UFS 4.0 storage standard, and a new digital signal processor (DSP).

The Tensor G3 is expected to debut in the Google Pixel 8 towards the end of the year.
