Google teamed up with Samsung once again to build the Tensor G3, the chipset that powers the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It comes out of Samsung’s 4nm foundries and features a 9-core CPU (1x Cortex-X3 + 4x A715 + 4x A510) and an ARM Mali-G715 GPU.

This Tensor G3 chip doesn't even match the 2 years older Snapdragon 8 gen 1 from 2021.

There are cheaper phones with way better SOC like the new Dimensity 9200+ Which is both faster and more efficient.

The Pixel Phone is a cool phone in some ways, but the SOC absolutely isn't on par with what other companies have. At best it would be ranked fourth after Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek who are all way ahead.

Better at what though. I think it's all relative. I've had no set backs I can ever think of using my Pixels. Image processing I guess could be quicker, but is that really a deal breaker?

Either faster or more power efficient. Compared to the Pixel 8 Pro / Tensor G3, there are options that are better at both.
