The upcoming Tensor G3 chip from Google's Pixel 8 series is expected to incorporate new packaging technology, which could potentially address the overheating issues experienced with previous Tensor chips.
Google is set to introduce the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro with a groundbreaking system on chip, advanced camera hardware and software, and five years of Android updates, making it a highly anticipated smartphone release.
The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series is expected to feature a minor upgrade in terms of chip technology, known as the Tensor G4, as the company's focus is on developing a fully custom chip for the Pixel 10 series in 2025.
Modest design changes and improved performance are expected for the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, including display tweaks, camera upgrades, and a "next-generation" Tensor G3 chip, with a rumored release date of October 11 and prices starting at $649.
Google is set to launch the Pixel 8 Pro smartphone, featuring its own Tensor chipset for enhanced AI and machine learning capabilities and offering a seven-year support window for Android OS updates and security fixes.
The leaked retail information about the Pixel 8 Pro also revealed key specifications of the Tensor G3, including a 1+4+4 CPU layout, a 4nm process, and a Cortex-X3 flagship core.
