Google Tensor G2 vs Google Tensor

Comparisons 07-10-2022

Comprehensive testing data of Google Tensor G2 vs Google Tensor, compare of graphics processors (GPU). A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in software tests such as AnTuTu, Neocore, Quadrant, GFXBench, PassMark, Vellamo, PCMark, 3DMark, Geekbench, and how good the SoCs are in games Minecraft, PUBG, Asphalt 9, GTA, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Madout2 etc.
After looking at the data these tests and videos, you already be able to understand which SoCs is better to buy Google Tensor G2 or Tensor.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Google Tensor G2 is 1% better than Tensor in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Mali-G710 MP07	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	850 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	1535.23	986
# of Cores	16	22
# of Shader Units
Display	4096 x 2160 pixels	4096 x 2160 pixels

The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
