This Thursday (06), Google officially announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The top-of-the-line phones are equipped with Tensor G2, the new generation of the platform fully developed by the search giant that succeeds the chip used in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, bringing several improvements to its custom architecture.

The Google Tensor G2 maintains virtually identical cores in its CPU, but with a 4nm manufacturing process that improves its efficiency. Therefore, big tech was able to carry out a slight increase in frequency of both ARM Cortex-X1 cores and the “new” ARM Cortex-A78 cores, which have not yet evolved to the ARMv9 architecture.


While there are few changes to its CPU, the graphics processing will represent a big evolution for the Google Tensor G2. The chipset has a 7-core ARM Mali-G710 GPU — identical to the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 — which guarantees a 20% increase in gaming performance and efficiency over the 1st Gen Tensor Mali-G78.

The GPU must work in conjunction with the platform’s ISP to deliver major advances in photo processing. Now, with 10-bit HDR support, images produced by the Pixel 7’s lenses and post-processed by the Tensor G2 will have much more vivid colors and even wider dynamic range.

Moving on to the TPU, which is responsible for accelerating machine learning tasks, Google maintains discretion in announcing that the Tensor G2 has a “Next-Gen Edge TPU”. Big Tech claims that the Processing machine learning is 60% more powerful and 20% more efficient on the new chip.

The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will arrive next Thursday (13) for US$ 599 (about R$ 3,109) and US$ 899 (about R$ 4,669), respectively. The cheapest model will leave the factory with a 6.3-inch OLED screen with a 90 Hz refresh rate, dual 50 MP and 12 MP cameras, a 4,355 mAh battery, and more.
