Google focused on improving the AI capabilities of the Tensor G2 chip for the Pixel 7, rather than overall performance

Google the day before announced an updated duo of Pixel smartphones and the Pixel Watch.
The latter work on the processor Samsung Exynos, but the smartphone again received their own processor Google Tensor, but the second generation.
The main advantage of the Tensor G2 before the first generation chip was more efficient work with tasks based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.Image source: store.google.comThe hardware changes for the most part evolutionary: the novelty received the same two high-performance cores Arm Cortex X1, two performance Cortex-A78 (in Tensor G1 were A76), and a quartet of economical Cortex-A55, which were also present in last year's processor.
The clock frequency of some cores has increased, but otherwise it is the same set that was used in the Pixel 6 smartphones.
In addition, there is a new graphics subsystem: instead of Arm Mali-G78 came more powerful Mali-G710.The main attention of Google, most likely, paid to the part of the platform, which is developed by the company - tensor cores, responsible for working with AI algorithms.
The company has not yet given all the details, but noted that the system Tensor G2 has a \"new generation of its own TPU\" - in some tasks, it works 60% faster and 20% more efficiently.
In particular, twice accelerated the work of the functions of light correction Night Sight, sharpness Face Unblur and intelligent scaling Super Res (up to 30-fold increase in the Pixel 7 Pro).Evolutionary changes processor - it is not always bad, believe journalists resource TechCrunch, because Google engineers now know more about its features.
And when you consider that the new phones offer up to 72 hours of battery life, such a compromise is perfectly acceptable.
So is the Titan M2 security chip, which was migrated unchanged to the Pixel 7 from last year's models.
