The Pixel 8 Pro's Tensor G3 off-loads all generative AI tasks to the cloud (notebookcheck.net) 173 points by redbell 9 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 95 comments user_7832 6 hours ago | prev | next [–] Quote from Google: > Our work with Tensor has never been about speeds and feeds, or traditional performance metrics. It’s about pushing the mobile computing experience forward. And in our new Tensor G3 chip, every major subsystem has been upgraded, paving the way for on-device generative AI. It includes the latest generation of Arm CPUs, an upgraded GPU, new ISP and Imaging DSP and our next-gen TPU, which was custom-designed to run Google’s AI models. Then why the internet requirement? Were they trying something that failed last minute forcing them to ship it the way it is? Or was this always just advertisement material? reply dataflow 5 hours ago | parent | next [–] > Our work with Tensor has never been about speeds and feeds, or traditional performance metrics Meanwhile, on [1] they say: > Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are equipped with Google Tensor G3, Google’s fastest, most efficient, and most secure chip yet. Every major component of the chip has been upgraded for enhanced performance and efficiency. Not only has the number of machine learning models on device more than doubled since 2021, but their complexity and sophistication have increased as well. And Tensor is running many of these complex models at the same time. Sounds to me like it was very m...
