Pixel 6's Tensor Chip: Let's Talk!

28 Comments

1. looks good but I don't think i can use to the massive bump, looking forward to 5a

2. I think it could be all very nice if Google nails it like Apple did, but in-house developed chips are not always the better option. Looking at you Exynos <.<

3. This is the Pixel 2 XL replacement I've been waiting for! Finally!!!

4. Android coming up baby…

5. After Apple's M1 & A14 change in course, the big mfrs. need to make proprietary and more capable SOC's to stay in the party. I can sorta imagine a Tensor-equipped Chromebook running circles around anything Intel-powered (within the limits of Chrome).

   I see not just an advancement in the Google product genre, but also a winnowing out of phone mfrs who can't build around their own custom chip.

   Begs the (rhetorical) question: Will Google license Tensor in the future? Apple will surely never license M1. We know that Google already knows the answer, but we don't, and they ain't talkin'.

6. I'm reminded of googles past forrays into custom hardware. I'm not holding my breath.

7. Everyone: so exciting

   Me: (huehue, he said picshel)

8. We know you have it in your pocket mate, and that was not quick thoughts that was a pixel launch right there.

9. I loved the 6P. I used it for 3 years and loved it. I still have that I use for photos from time to time.

10. They went from symmetrical to asymmetrical bazzle? thought that was the pixel 5 main selling point

11. How custom is this Google chip? So far Apple has been the only one using custom designed CPU cores. All others just use slightly tweaked versions of ARMs standard designs. I'm not aware of Google having an ARM architectural license so it seems they are doing what all the other Android chip makers are doing and that they will have performance to match.

    I also wouldn't expect much in terms of drastically better energy efficiency. At its core Android is open source. Huawei and Samsung which both had in house developed chips are or were able to modify Android to their hearts content and still didn't manage to get good battery life without huge batteries. Sure not all parts of Android are open source, but I don't think that the parts that aren't play a significant factor in determining battery life and performance.

    Moreover, large parts of Android are set in stone. So even if Google determined that the JVM isn't optimal for their devices or that Vulkan isn't a good fit for their style of GPU Android is too mature and Pixel phones don't have enough marketshare to do anything about it.

12. I'm a bit disappointed that the P6 Pro has a curved front screen, rather than flat like on the regular P6. Curved glass is all form over function, and it's virtually impossible to get a good screen protector to cover it properly. But damn in the 4x telephoto lens doesn't intrigue me.

13. All I want is more info on the camera hardware

14. release date?

15. No. NO. YOU LITERALLY CANNOT HOLD THE PHONE HORIZONTALLY WHAT

16. damn damn damn why Google is always surprising………?

17. Going to be hilarious if Google makes a flagship phone at a mid-range price point.

18. I wish they’d stop making phones larger. I have very small hands for a dude and barely tolerate the size of my iPhone XS. I was planning on switching to Android after this bites the dust so long as the Pixel 6 is still about the same size as the 5. Guess that’s a thing of the past.

19. I find those renders really beautiful.

20. Very pretty phone, I think the bar adds to it actually

21. The mic ? it’s to much noise in the mic when you talk. I notice it in your other videos too.

22. As an apple fan, i am hyped!

23. Google needs to make a tablet called megapixel

24. Hey do you have a course on how to make YouTube videos if not you should make one Marques because your quality and videos are awesome ? ?

25. How can you not realise that the back is among us character!!!!

26. I am a Google fan from the Nexus line….but got disappointed from all the hype of the Soli Chip in my current Pixel 4XL. Here we go again with a hyped up Tensor Chip. I will wait an see if this chip lives past 1 year and makes it to Pixel 7 before I bite.

27. Thank you… this is super interesting . when is it going to be released ?

28. this dolly zoom effect at 3:29 as a theme change was so cool that it distracted me out of the topic ?
