↘ Tensor Technology: Triumphs, Tribulations, and Hope for Future

Google's Pixel 7 Pro proves that Tensor technology remains robust after a year. Researchers at Peking University have developed the first tensor processing unit using carbon nanotubes. Despite the hype, the Tensor G4 disappoints many, particularly in Google’s top-end Pixel 9 Pro XL. This is largely due to poor thermal efficiency, leading to performance throttling at half capacity. However, an exclusive look into the Pixel 9's Tensor G4 chip reveals some breakthroughs. Still, the overall gaming performance of the new Tensor G4 lags behind Tensor G2, especially when running high-demanding games. Benchmark results paint a gloomy picture of Pixel 9's performance with Tensor G4. But Google executives insist the chip is designed for user experience improvement, not to slug it out in benchmark scores. In other news, Tensor.Art became the largest VisionAI resource hosting platform in less than a year. NVidia shared detailed insights into its 5th generation Tensor cores—technology that brought immense progress in AI processing. Tensor's application in various studies, including spatial transition of single cells and muscle force couplings, emphasizes its range of use. Google's shift to the Tensor G5 production with TSMC is expected to notably impact future Pixels. Overall, while the Tensor G4 presents certain performance issues, there remains optimism for its successors.
