Its efficiency is comparable to the Dimensity 9200 (same GPU but with more cores and fabbed by TSMC rather than Samsung), but it delivers lower frame rates in tests.

Google teamed up with Samsung once again to build the Tensor G3, the chipset that powers the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It comes out of Samsung’s 4nm foundries and features a 9-core CPU (1x Cortex-X3 + 4x A715 + 4x A510) and an ARM Mali-G715 GPU.

    There are a multitude of reasons I personally wouldn’t buy a Xiaomi, most notable of which is data security concerns. But the SOC performance isn’t one of them.

    I wonder if you got hit with a little corporate astroturfing? I doubt there are many corps on Lemmy yet but if your post is findable by a search engine it’s only a matter of time before they arrive, if they haven’t already.

      Yes I understand some may have security concerns, we debated that too, that’s not the point here. The point was specifically the criticism of the SOC, which IMO is absolutely stellar.

      I’m surprised there is absolutely zero criticism in a major thread on the Pixel 8 here with 145 posts. When the Tensor chips are clearly worse on both speed and efficiency? Considering how much attention the issue got regarding the Xiaomi 13T Pro, despite it’s both cheaper and has a way better SOC.

      Maybe astroturfing is an issue, but it is illegal in almost all countries, so I hope not.

      Maybe bad perception? Mediatek for a long time produced a bunch of cheap chips. Kinda like if UniSoc produced a Snapdragon 8 G2 killer, I think plenty will be sceptical, me included.
