Independent development chipset "TENSOR"
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are equipped with a unique chipset "TENSOR", which Google is "the largest hardware innovation".The performance was up to 80 % compared to Pixel 5.
"Tensor" CPU is Cortex-X1 (2).8GHz) x 2, Cortex-A76 (2).25GHz) x 2, Cortex-A55 (1.8GHz) octa core configuration.The GPU has a 20-core "Mali-G78".The process node is Samsung's "5LPE".
In the development of Tensor, Google poured knowledge of AI, which the company has cultivated over the years.The development of the chipset began when Pixel 3 was provided in the market, and designed with AI researchers to optimize Google's machine learning.
"TENSOR" succeeded in reducing power consumption by using context hubs and other factors, and is excellent in power saving.This "TENSOR" also contributes to the realization of more advanced image processing (computational photography) of the Pixel 6 series.
Google's representative said, "There is no problem in compatibility with existing Android apps and games for Tensor."
The incorporation of security core is also a major feature of "TENSOR".It can be separated from the application processor, allowing highly confidential tasks in a secure environment.
In addition, "Titan M2" was introduced as a security chip."Titan M2" protects user data and passwords while linking with the security core of "Tensor".
The Pixel 6 series, which is said to have achieved the most advanced security in Google Pixel history, promises at least five years of security updates.
In the function called "security hub", security settings are unified.Fishing functions have also been enhanced.
