➀ Google's Tensor project has had some successes, notably supporting unique AI and photography features, but its four generations of chips have failed to make a significant impression on key performance and efficiency metrics, leaving Google's consumers behind.

➁ Google's next two generations of smartphones are expected to disappoint advanced users in many aspects. Will Google's return to Snapdragon be better? Is Google's Tensor project a failure? There are increasingly strong arguments for this.

➂ Google plans to significantly reduce the silicon area of Tensor G6, targeting an 8% reduction from G5. This will be achieved by canceling ray tracing in the GPU after only one generation,放弃一个DSP核心,系统级缓存可能会被放弃。G6 should launch with new, faster CPU cores, but the layout will be reduced to only seven cores to reduce the impact of upgrades.
