The upcoming Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are expected to run on the Tensor G4 chipset this year which has generated a lot of excitement. While Google’s past chipsets have not always matched up to those of its competitors in terms of performance and efficiency there are rumors circulating about enhancements for the Tensor G4. Drawing inspiration from the Exynos 2400 reports indicates that the Tensor G4 may incorporate Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) a technology known for its advantages in managing heat and boosting performance.
More About the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro
Recent details from media outlet FNN spotlighted by tipster Revegnus on X shed light on these advancements. Like the Exynos 2400, it is anticipated that the Tensor G4 will be produced using the Samsung 4nm process. While the specific type of 4nm technology that Google intends to utilize wasn’t explicitly mentioned in the report it is probable that they will opt for the 4LPP+ node. The incorporation of FOWLP technology shows potential as it assists in managing temperatures, over durations addressing issues observed in Pixel models concerning efficiency.
The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro encountered challenges related to throttling under normal usage conditions underscoring the need for significant improvements in their successors. The utilization of FOWLP technology despite not being recognized among consumers enables efficient signal transmission within the chipset. Additionally, it enhances the chipset’s ability to endure heat to maintain performance levels across cores while effectively regulating temperature fluctuations.
Samsung’s Exynos 2400 employing FOWLP technology demonstrates an 8 percent enhancement in core performance as evidenced by its results in tests like 3DMarks Wild Life Extreme. If the Tensor G4 incorporates this technology well similar performance enhancements can be anticipated. This signifies an advancement for Google in addressing the shortcomings of its chipset lineup potentially leading to a performance boost for the upcoming Pixel 9 series.
For individuals delving into details, about the Tensor G4, we have compiled an extensive collection of rumors and reports thus far. This tool will be extremely helpful, for making informed choices when deciding between the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro for purchases.
