📹 Google's upcoming Tensor G5 cores architecture leaked

Following a leak about TSMC's 3nm process node, Android Authority's source has revealed info about the cores that will be used in the Tensor G5.

• CPU
Google has decided to keep a single Arm Cortex-X4 as the primary core, which was used in the Tensor G4. The middle cluster now has five Cortex-A725 cores, instead of the three Cortex-A720 cores in the Tensor G4, and the small cluster has been reduced to two Cortex-A520 cores, instead of the same four in the previous generation.

• GPU
For graphics, the Tensor G5 is powered by a GPU from Imagination Technologies (or IMG), the DXT-48-1536, running at 1.1GHz. First, this GPU has support for ray tracing, which is new to Google chips. Secondly, it supports GPU Virtualization, allowing accelerated graphics to be used in a virtual machine.

• TPU
The Tensor G5 has a faster TPU compared to the Tensor G3 and G4. It is nearly 40% better than its predecessors in terms of TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second), but Google's internal benchmarks show that the new TPU is only 14% faster. The improved TPU also features embedded RISC-V kernels that enable operations not implemented in hardware, as well as support for on-device learning.
