Google Tensor 3 Processor Specs Revealed.

Android Authority has published the specs of the processor that the Pixel 8 will be equipped with, thanks to a source inside Google:

• Layout: 4x Cortex-A510 @ 2.15GHz + 4x Cortex-A715 @ 2.45GHz + 1x Cortex-X3 @ 3.0GHz.

• ARMv9 architecture

• Support for Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) by Arm.

• GPU: Arm Mali-G715, 890MHz. Presumably a 10 core ‘Immortalis’ variant with ray tracing support.

• Potential support for 8K30 video decoding/encoding in H.264 and HEVC. But this is unlikely to be included in the final device.

• The Pixel 8 will be the first phone to support AV1 to 4K30 encoding.

• The TPU, codenamed ‘Rio’, will run at 1.1GHz.

• A new second-generation GXP digital signal processor (codenamed ‘callisto’) with a frequency increase from 975MHz to 1065MHz.

• New UFS 4.0 controller from Samsung.

• Modem: A ‘slightly different variant’ of the Exynos Modem 5300.
