Google Tensor G3 vs Google Tensor

Comparisons 08-10-2023

Detailed comparison data of Google Tensor G3 vs Google Tensor, examination of graphics chips (GPU). A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in synthetic type tests like Quadrant, Geekbench, 3DMark, Neocore, PassMark, GFXBench, PCMark, Vellamo, AnTuTu, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Fortnite, Minecraft, Asphalt 9, PUBG, GTA, Call of Duty, Madout2 etc.
After reading the results of parallel tests and videos, you already be able to understand which processors is better to buy Tensor G3 or Tensor.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Tensor G3 is 6% 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-G715 MP9	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	750 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	1354.62	986
# of Cores	9	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.
