Google’s Tensor 3 CPU and Samsung’s Exynos 1380 reportedly in the works

As per a report from GalaxyClub, Google and Samsung are already working on a third-generation Tensor SoC, which should power next year's Pixel 8 lineup. On the one hand, it's no surprise that Google and Samsung will continue to work on their joint venture but on the other, it's not the first time Google has killed a project or two. After all, the first-generation Tensor chipset isn't exactly on par with the competition from Qualcomm and Apple. Things may change in the future, though. The Tensor's advantage, however,…

Tensor 3 chip in Pixel 8 may have this in common with Pixel 6

Google is continuing to work with Samsung for the Pixel 8 series, according to a new report from the Samsung-focused tech blog, Galaxy Club. The report claims that Google is developing this new chip under the name “Cloudripper,” with a debut expected in 2023 with the Pixel 8. If true, this would not be surprising. Google hasn’t announced plans to kill off the Pixel line yet, and its Pixel 7 is coming in a month or two with a renewed Tensor 2 chipset. It is interesting that Samsung and Google continue to collaborate,…

Samsung Working on Tensor 2 for Google, Exynos 1380 SoC Also In Development: Report

Samsung is reportedly working on Google's next generation Tensor SoC as well as its in-house Exynos 1380 SoC, which will be announced soon. The upcoming Google Tensor 2 SoC could be included in the Pixel 7 series phones, while the Exynos 1380 SoC is rumoured to power the Galaxy A54 smartphone next year. The Tensor 2 SoC reportedly has the model number S5P9865. The Exynos 1380 SoC is said to succeed the Samsung Exynos 1280 SoC. Google's Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a phones are powered by a Tensor SoC made on a 5nm…

Samsung reportedly testing next-gen Google Tensor, Exynos 1380 chipsets

It is widely known that Samsung is helping Google build a Tensor lineup of chipsets for smartphones, tablets, and more. The first-generation Tensor processor, used in the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, is a modified version of the Exynos 2100. Now, the company is testing a couple of new chipsets, one of which is potentially a new Tensor processor. According to a report from GalaxyClub, Samsung is testing two new chipsets. One could be the successor to the Exynos 1280 and could be branded Exynos 1380. The other chipset has…

Why the Google Pixel 6a Has Us Considering Cheap Phones

It used to be that you could only find one flagship-level feature on a smartphone under the $500 price point. Fortunately, things have grown exponentially in the past five years.Apple started the trend off with the iPhone SE, effectively setting the stage for the “standard edition” of the marquee device launch. Google quickly followed withits

Google Pixel 6A review: Tensor makes it a smart choice for $449

For a few years running, the Pixel A-series phone was a no-brainer: always the best Android phone in its midrange class. With the Pixel 6A, things are a little different. Google is shifting its priorities for its Pixel phones, and competitors like Samsung have closed the gap. The 6A still has the best performance and camera quality at its price, but it’s not quite the shoo-in that it once was. As is tradition for the A-series, the 6A offers most of what the Pixel 6 does — and to a lesser extent, the Pixel 6 Pro — for a…

Nvidia RTX A2000 Workstation GPU With 6GB GDDR6 ECC VRAM, 2nd-Gen RT Cores, 3rd-Gen Tensor Cores Launched

Nvidia RTX A2000 graphics card is the latest and smallest GPU to join the company's workstation graphics card portfolio. Its low-profile design allows it to be fitted into a small form factor case without compromising on latest features such as GDDR6 error correction code (ECC) memory, PCIe Gen 4 support, and more. Nvidia's own version has a blower-style design with a single fan pulling air through the GPU. Nvidia RTX A2000 is designed on the Ampere architecture-based CUDA cores.Nvidia RTX A2000 price, availabilityNvidia…

Pixel 7’s Tensor 2 chipset might offer only modest performance improvements

Google has revealed only a few details about the upcoming Pixel 7 series, but we know that working prototypes exist – one even ended up eBay. Another such prototype, a bricked Pixel 7 Pro, was used by the Google News Telegram group to dig up additional info on the new models. While the phone itself was bricked, the group managed to extract boot logs. Combing through those, they discovered that the Tensor 2 chipset features Cortex-A55 cores. This is the last little core based on the ARMv8 architecture, the new design…

Google’s Tensor 2 chip might not be a huge upgrade over the original Tensor

We have seen Google’s next Pixel smartphone renders and live images, but we don’t know much about its internals, until now. A Pixel 7 prototype got into the hands of an unlucky person, as it eventually got bricked, and that person ended up on a telegram group - “Google News.” And some enthusiasts could not keep the excitement and took a deep dive into learning more about Google’s upcoming smartphone, revealing some key details about the second-generation Tensor chip.Google is reportedly not happy with Pixel 7 prototypes…
