Given the horrible GPU performance as well as thermal issues in Tensor G5 and G6, Google will have to switch back to Arm in G7.
replyExample benchmark showing how extremely far Google is behind:
GeekBench 6 Compute Score (GPU):
Xring O3. 36901. (the GPU in this announcement)
Snapdragon 8 Elite G5 27501. (Adreno 840)
Dimensity 9500M. 23753. (Mali-G1 Ultra MP11).
Tensor G6. 6216. (PowerVR CXTP-48-1536)The Pixel 10 and 11 GPUs are offensively bad. Not only are the Power VR GPUs slow, and less capable feature wise than Mali and Adreno (Xclipse is still around too!), but the tile Google put in the Pixel 11 is actually an _older_ design than what they put in the Pixel 10. They just clocked it higher to make up the performance difference.
replyAnd then Google has the gall to charge basically flagship prices for their under powered junk.
Personally I don't buy flagship phones because I don't use their full compute capabilities anyway, but a Pixel 11 would cost 2x what I paid for my Pixel 8. For 0 GPU performance improvement.
>Xring O3.
replyI just can't wait to see it being tested in an actual phone. So far all the data are done on development board. If they are really as good as everything we have read so far, both Mediatek and Qualcomm are in big trouble.
it's available in retail (the foldable phone variant) in mainland China since today
replyThis Xiaomis second or third chip ever so I assume there will be problems.
