On September 1, according to media reports, Google decided to use the Tensor application processor for the next-generation smartphone Pixel 8 series and continue to use the 3nm process process of Samsung Electronics, which is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of next year.
According to media reports, Samsung Electronics will continue to strengthen the cooperation between the two companies on smartphone application processors. At present, Google is working with Samsung Electronics' system LSI department to develop the third-generation Tensor processor, which will be used in the Pixel 8.
According to SamMobile, Qualcomm and MediaTek's flagship Soc were handed over to TSMC foundry, and Samsung temporarily lost these two big customers. However, Samsung has a closer relationship with Google. The latest revelations point out that the Google Tensor G3 flagship chip used in the Google Pixel 8 series will be manufactured by Samsung. It is reported that Google Tensor G3 uses Samsung's 3nm process and integrates Samsung Exynos 5300G modem. It is revealed that Google Tesnor G3 is actually a derivative of Samsung Exynos 2300, which will add Google algorithms and artificial intelligence.
It is understood that, unlike previous generations of processes using FinFET technology, Samsung's gate all-around (GAA) transistor technology enables the newly developed first-generation 3nm process to reduce power consumption by 45%, improve performance by 23%, and reduce power consumption by 23%. 16% area. Samsung's second-generation 3nm process reduces power consumption by 50%, improves performance by 30%, and reduces chip area by 35%.
In addition, like the Pixel 7 series, the Pixel 8 series is also two models. The standard version has a screen definition of 2268x1080, and the Pro version has a resolution of 2822x1344. The code names of the two models are Shiba and Husky.
