Kamila pointed out in a tweet that creating an integrated circuit is not simply attaching a bare die, and the packaging process is also an important part of it.

The Tensor G2 processor on the Pixel 7a uses the “IPOP” packaging scheme; while the Pixel 7 series uses the “FOPLP” packaging scheme.

The IPOP packaging process is more cost-effective, thicker, larger and generates more heat than FOPLP.

Pixel 7a and Pixel 7 series adopt different heat dissipation schemes, and it is impossible to compare and determine the impact of heat dissipation on actual performance at this stage.

The Pixel 7a specification information disclosed in the attached tweet is as follows:

Screen: 6.1 inches FHD, the material is OLED, the refresh rate is 90Hz

Processor: Tensor G2

Memory: LPDDR5

Storage: UFS 3.1

Main camera: 64-megapixel Sony IMX787

Auxiliary camera: 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle

Wireless charging: 5W

OS; Android 13

The previously exposed clear water protective case shows that the Pixel 7a has a body size of 152.4 x 72.9 x 9.0, with a USB Type-C port at the bottom, but no 3.5mm headphone port. Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 7a at this year’s I/O conference.

Google Pixel Tablet Pro will be equipped with the same Tensor G2 chip in Pixel 7 / Pro, 2560×1600 resolution screen made by Huaxing Optoelectronics and Richtek RT4539 six-channel LED driver. This is used for the backlighting of the LCD screen, Google Tablet does not use AMOLED panels.

At least one version of the Pixel tablet features Samsung’s 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS storage, as well as side fingerprint recognition (likely embedded in the power button).

Some images of the new Pixel tablet have also been leaked. Support is easy to use as a dock for the smart display, but it’s unclear if it’s included in the box or sold as an optional accessory.

Citing foreign tech media SamMobile reports that the Tensor G2 chip will be based on Samsung’s 4nm LPE node instead of the LPP node for the sake of reducing production costs. Assuming Samsung doesn’t offer Google a better deal when it comes to mass-producing subsequent Tensor SoCs, the advertising giant may instead work with TSMC.

Tensor G2 features two Cortex-X1 cores running at 2.85GHz and two Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.35GHz. The remaining four cores are ARM’s Cortex-A55, running at 1.80GHz. In terms of GPU, Tensor G2 uses the Mali-G710 GPU with seven cores.

For the 5G modem, the Tensor G2 integrates Samsung’s Exynos 5300 module. Little information is available about the baseband chip, but we assume it’s built on a 4nm LPE architecture, which means it’s faster and more energy efficient than the 5G modem running in last year’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Google is now expected to continue working with Samsung on the Pixel 8 series next year.

Google reportedly intends to use Samsung’s 3nm GAA technology to produce 3nm GAA technology, a manufacturing process that offers significant advantages. Samsung claims that the next-generation chip will reduce power consumption by up to 45 percent, improve performance by 23 percent and reduce the area by 16 percent compared to the manufacturer’s 5nm technology. Perhaps by 2023, Google will catch up with its competitors.

The Pixel 7 Pro test results were found on Geekbench 5, where the Tensor G2 is expected to be part of its internal specs. the performance results shared by Kuba Wojciechowski are not what we expected, especially since the Tensor G2 is mass produced on Samsung’s improved 4nm architecture. the Tensor G2 single-core and multi-core results are slower than the Snapdragon 888, which means the Tensor G2 simply can’t compete with the flagship Android chipsets of 2022.

Checking out the Geekbench 5 charts, the fastest Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone was the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro, scoring 1,115 and 3,581 points in both single-core and multi-core results. In comparison, the Tensor G2 only managed 1068 and 3149 points in the same results, showing the difference between the two chipsets.

With competing chipsets adopting the Cortex-X3 core in the coming months, it is puzzling why Google is sticking with the older generation Cortex-X1 on the Tensor G2. Fortunately, raw performance in smartphones is not everything, and as Kuba Wojciechowski mentions, despite getting lower scores in benchmark tests scores, certain optimizations can improve the user experience.

Alternatively, the Pixel 7 Pro may have just been tested with the lower frequency Tensor G2, and we could see the improvements in the near future when we get closer to the official release. Speaking of official releases, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will probably be on sale from October 6.

On the Pixel 7’s updated magazine page, there is no mention of the “Google Tensor G2” chip in the phone. Following this year’s pattern, it’s likely that Tensor G2 will also be in next year’s Pixel 7a and any foldable phones Google may launch. “
