According to Google\u2019s own data, overheating issues with Tensor have proved to be the biggest reason for Pixel returns.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-646888\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A leaked deck of slides from Google has revealed some of the company\u2019s future plans for Tensor chipsets, specifically around Tensor G6, and there\u2019s a clear focus for Google on solving issues with heat and efficiency. <\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, there\u2019s good motivation for that.<\/p>\n<p>One of the slides as recreated by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-tensor-g6-downgrades-3497725\/\">Android Authority<\/a><\/em> reveals that overheating has been a very big problem for the Pixel series not just in terms of user satisfaction, but in terms of returns.<\/p>\n<p>Within the slide deck, while discussing improvements coming in Tensor G6, codenamed \u201cMalibu,\u201d it\u2019s explained that \u201cthermals\u201d are the \u201c#1 reason for returning\u201d Pixel phones. The documents we\u2019ve viewed further add that the \u201ccomfort limits\u201d for thermals are currently too high and need to drop.<\/p>\n<p>The same slide also discusses that battery life is another priority as \u201cgood battery life attracts users and drives loyalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overheating and battery life have indeed been significant pain points for past Pixel chipsets, especially prior to 2023\u2019s Tensor G3. These documents were created well before Google actually shipped Tensor G3 in the Pixel 8 series, which brought considerable improvements in both regards. Still, it\u2019s unlikely that Google\u2019s priorities have changed, as there\u2019s plenty of room left for further improvement in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>The slide deck goes on to detail Google\u2019s plans to \u201cMalibu,\u201d the chip that will become Tensor G6, as well as some tidbits regarding \u201cLaguna,\u201d Tensor G5. Some improvements that should lend themselves to better thermals and battery life <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/10\/23\/google-tensor-pixel-10-efficiency-report\/\">have already been reported from the slides, such as the move to drastically more efficient TSMC processes<\/a> (the same ones used by Apple, in fact). <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/10\/23\/tensor-g5-g6-cores\/\">Tensor G5 and G6 specs<\/a> were also spotted within the highly-technical slide deck.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-on-google-tensor\">More on Google Tensor:<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/11\/08\/google-tensor-pixel-overheating-leaked-documents\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google\u2019s Tensor chips in Pixel phones have been getting better every year, but they still tend to run warmer than the competition.
