The Geekbench performance of Pixel 8 has emerged:
The Geekbench data, claimed to be of Google's new flagship smartphone model, Pixel 8, has left question marks in minds about the performance of the new phone.
The launch of the Google Pixel 8 series may be some distance off, but the rumor mill has been turning, offering insights into these forthcoming devices. Of late, the focus has been on the new generation Tensor G3 chipset, which, according to recent indications, may not deliver the performance leaps initially anticipated.
Not long ago, speculation surfaced around Google's new Tensor G3, suggesting significant performance enhancements for the Pixel 8 series. These improvements were attributed to a revised architecture and advancements in AI and machine learning capabilities. However, recent data from the widely recognized GeekBench platform indicate that the overall performance may not be as impressive as expected. The benchmark listing reveals that the Tensor G3 scored 1,186 points in the single-core test and 3,809 points in the multi-core tests.
The Geekbench performance of Pixel 8 has emerged:
This GeekBench listing was made public by informant Revegnus, who also recently leaked the specs of the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 8300 SoC. Furthermore, the Tensor G3 operates at a base frequency of 2.15GHz across its 9 cores. These include four cores running at 2.15GHz, four more at 3.45GHz, and one core with a 3.02GHz clock speed. There's also speculation that the Tensor G3 is built on the architecture of Samsung's Exynos 2200 SoC.
If these rumors hold true, Google's latest chipset might lag 2 to 3 generations behind the offerings of technology powerhouses such as Apple, MediaTek, and Qualcomm. The leaker suggests this demonstrates that Samsung Foundry still has some catching up to do, presumably in comparison with TSMC, the world's leading contract chipmaker. It's important to remember, though, that synthetic benchmarks are not always the most accurate predictors of real-world performance and user experience. They can provide a snapshot of potential capabilities, but not a comprehensive view.
