How Google Tensor Helps Google Pixel Phones Do More
The brains behind Google Pixel phones.
Tensor is the system-on-chip processor designed to run breakthroughs from teams at the forefront of machine learning and generative AI, like Google DeepMind. Conceptualized in 2016 and first integrated in Google Pixel 6 in 2021, it plays a key role in optimizing large AI models for mobile devices, so Google Pixel can offer the latest innovations without significant battery drains. Today, the Tensor G6 chip in Google Pixel 11 phones powers the newest Gemini Nano model – Google’s most advanced AI on a phone – to help make everyday life easier.
Google Tensor keeps getting better with each generation. On the new
, , and , Google introduces the sixth-generation Tensor chip. Its 50% more powerful Tensor processing unit (TPU) drives 120x Pro Zoom, Live Translate for Media, and Proactive Assistance from Gemini Intelligence.,,Meanwhile, an upgraded CPU delivers up to 20% better power efficiency to take you through your day. And together with the new Titan M3 security chip, Google Tensor G6 helps protect your data.
With its upgraded image signal processor (ISP), the latest Google Tensor chip makes some of Pixel’s
possible. Paired with new sensors, it helps all the Pixel 11 phones deliver stunning image and video quality.The ISP includes a custom accelerator that unlocks 4K Portrait Video for the first time on Pixel. Portrait Video blurs the background behind your subject to add a cinematic effect to your videos.
Another new camera feature, Magic Capture, makes it easier to catch the moment as you live it. A hybrid processing architecture that leverages the power of Google Tensor G6 and the expansive capabilities of Google Cloud lets you take both video and photos, then edit, crop, and unblur a curated collection that’s ready to share – all automatically, with just one tap.
You can also capture vivid images at night, no countdown needed. Redesigned software and 50% more TPU compute make Instant Night Sight up to 4.5x faster than before, making it faster to snap a vibrant photo in low light.,, Just take the picture and enjoy the night.
Plus, you can zoom in even closer with 120x Pro Zoom on Google Pixel 11 Pro phones., It’s made possible by state-of-the-art camera hardware and sophisticated on-device models running on Google Tensor G6 that combine to process complex computational photography more quickly.
Google Tensor delivers the best of Google’s intelligence – including
innovations – to Google Pixel, putting personalized, helpful features in your hand.With efficient AI processing on Google Tensor G6 and world-class models in Google Cloud, the latest generation of Google Pixel phones understands context and works across your apps to help give you what you need, right when you need it.
You’re calling the airline to do a complicated flight-switching maneuver. What were all the flight numbers again? Google Pixel can anticipate that question and show you a pop-up with all the information. Then you receive a text from your friend asking for the address of the rental home you’ll be sharing this weekend. Once again, your Google Pixel can proactively bring up the details for you, allowing you to respond with just a tap. No more switching apps as you dig around for the information.
Google Pixel’s
keeps users free from spam calls – 69% more than before on average. And Scam Detection uses powerful on-device AI from Tensor and Gemini Nano to help detect suspicious conversation patterns during calls and text messages. Running entirely on-device with Tensor G6, it’s completely private – your phone calls and summaries are never sent to the cloud.Call Notes privately summarizes a call and provides a transcript for you, so you can concentrate on the conversation rather than jot down notes. Call Notes can also automatically suggest actions like calendar invites or tasks by understanding the context of your conversation. It identifies key details in your call and helps you follow up, all while keeping your data private and on your device.
With Google Pixel, you can experience
that feels authentic. It uses the sound of each person’s voice, so phone conversations in different languages are easier and more natural.,In addition, Google Pixel powered by Tensor G6 can translate videos, podcasts, and voice messages into select languages as you watch and listen. So you can enjoy content from around the world, effortlessly.
As technology evolves, so do the threats. Google Pixel is engineered specifically to help safeguard your most sensitive information from advanced attacks today, and from risks like attacks from quantum computers in the future. The seamless integration of the custom Google Tensor G6 processor and all-new Titan M3 security chip form our most robust, proactive defense system yet.
Plus, with seven years of Pixel Drops, OS upgrades, and security updates, your Pixel will just get better for years to come.
