Logs show details Google Pixel 7 and Tensor 2

Logs leaked from a prototype of the Google Pixel 7 Pro show some hitherto unknown details of the phone and of the Tensor 2 soc inside. It would have outdated ARMv8 processor cores.

The show logs from the Google News-Telegram group a workaround in use for Cortex A55 cores, based on the ARMv8 architecture. The logs come from a no longer working prototype of the Pixel 7 Pro. It’s impossible for a soc to mix ARMv8 cores with newer ARMv9 cores, so presumably that means the Tensor 2 has Cortex X1 and A76 cores. They are also in use for the first Tensor. Other high-end socs of this year are over to the Cortex X2 cores. Moreover, the setup remains 2 + 2 + 4, with presumably two X1 cores, two A76 cores and four A55 cores.

The logs also show that the Pixel 7 Pro has a Samsung S6E3HC4 display. The Pixel 6 Pro has an S6E3HC3. The resolution is 3120×1440 pixels. That’s the same resolution as the Pixel 6 Pro. Furthermore, the Pixel 7 Pro would be codenamed Panther, while the Pixel 7 is called Cheetah. The codename Felix also appears, presumably a Pixel 7a.

Google has already shown the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro at developer conference I/O and already mentioned that it contains a next-generation Tensor soc. The search giant has not yet disclosed anything about the phones.
