A retail leak that provided an unboxing/hands-on experience of the Pixel 8 Pro earlier today has revealed key specs for the Tensor G3.
sharer M. Brandon Lee, a hardware specs app (running on a Pixel 8 Pro) leaks that Tensor G3 will feature a 1+4+4 layout, unlike the 2+2+4 of the past two generations. Built on a 4 nm process, Cortex-X3 (currently 2.91 GHz) serves as the big/flagship core.
At the center are four Cortex-A715 (2.37 GHz) cores, and Arm has previously touted performance comparable to the Cortex-X1. Finally, the four “small” Cortex-A510 (1.7 GHz) cores are an upgrade from the Cortex-A55 that Google has been using since the original his Tensor chip.
The “Mali-G715” is listed as a GPU, and previous rumors said it to be a variant of Immortalis (based on a 10 core count) with support for hardware-based ray tracing.There is Another “Mari” version It just shows “significant” energy savings and “improved gaming performance” with variable rate shading (7-9 cores).

Various screenshots have been shared regarding the camera, but keep in mind that these specifications are not always read properly by the app. Elsewhere, a “Goodix” fingerprint sensor is listed.
It remains to be seen how much detail Google will provide about Tensor G3 at the launch event and in the days that follow. The company has so far avoided providing detailed specs in its general marketing and has focused solely on highlighting what the chip is capable of in terms of software/AI. It will be interesting to see if that stance changes when Google starts using TSMC with its Tensor G5.
