69.2% in 1,700-Vote Poll Want Google to Scrap Tensor Chips
1 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 24
Summary
More than two-thirds of respondents in an Android Authority poll said Google should cancel Tensor, with 69.2% of over 1,700 votes backing an end to the in-house chip project.
Battery life, heat output and fading performance drove much of that backlash, while some readers also argued Tensor has failed to deliver a clear AI edge over top Snapdragon and Apple chips.
Still, 31% said Google should keep developing Tensor, arguing its long-term benefits could outweigh current flaws and comparing the effort to Apple’s early A-series chip push.
Pixel 11 is still widely expected to use a Tensor G6, with leaks pointing to stronger Arm CPU cores but only a modest GPU change, leaving open whether Google can reverse user skepticism.
