CTOnews.com December 12 news, recently, Google Tensor chip was exposed to the problem of overheating, causing widespread concern among Pixel users.

A user shared a photo of Pixel 6 Pro on Reddit, which shows scorch marks in the area of the heat sink inside the phone, indicating that the Tensor chip generates a lot of heat during its work, which exceeds the processing capacity of the heat sink.

According to revelations, the Pixel 6 Pro with the original Tensor chip was damaged by overheating after two years of use, making it impossible for the phone to work properly. Surprisingly, the reason for the phone overheating is that the user made a 10-minute call.

CTOnews.com noted that not only the primary Tensor chips, but also the third generation Tensor G3 chips in the latest Pixel 8 series also have overheating problems. 3DMark Wild Life stress tests show that Tensor G3 can significantly degrade performance due to overheating during operation.

The root of the problem is that the Tensor chip is based on Samsung's Exynos chip architecture, which has been criticized for poor heat dissipation. Given that Google's fully homegrown Tensor G5 chip won't be available until 2025, next year's Pixel 9 series of phones are likely to still suffer from overheating.

The Tensor G5 chip is not only designed entirely by Google, but also uses the more advanced TSMC 3nm process, which will theoretically have stronger performance and higher energy efficiency. For Pixel users, especially those using Pixel 6 and subsequent models, they not only want to see an improvement in the performance of the Tensor G5 chip, but also hope that it can solve the problem of overheating and prevent the phone from being damaged by overheating.

If your Pixel phone overheats, it is recommended to stop the operation that causes the phone to heat up immediately and turn it off until it cools down. Continuous use of overheated phones can lead to damage to the phone, like the Pixel 6 Pro in the photo, and end up as unusable e-waste.
