The Tensor G3’s core configuration aligns it with other flagship Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 series featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. While the arrangement of nine total cores on the Tensor G3 is not conventional, it represents a substantial upgrade over the Cortex X1 found in the Tensor G2, providing users with increased processing power.
In addition to the improved CPU, the Tensor G3 is rumored to introduce a new Arm Immortalis-G715 GPU that supports ray tracing, enhancing the graphics capabilities of the Pixel 8 series. The chipset is also expected to support 8K video recording, although it remains uncertain if this feature will be fully utilized by the Pixel 8 series due to potential heat management challenges faced by previous Pixel devices when recording in 4K.
