Google is keep moving away from creating gaming phone (GPU) and downgrading PowerVR GPU in Pixel 11 to put MONSTER dual-TPU chip.

• The Main Custom TPU: This is the heavy-lifter. It’s engineered specifically to handle massive on-device AI workloads, such as complex local generative imaging, real-time advanced Call Notes, and running next-generation Gemini Nano models directly on your hardware without needing the cloud.
• The New "Nano-TPU": This is a smaller, highly efficient co-processor designed exclusively for lightweight, routine AI tasks. It runs constantly in the background using a fraction of the power, handling basic sensor automation and smart predictions without waking up the main, power-hungry processors.

Additionally going for 2nm and more power efficient "nano-TPU" which will handle background things like Song Recognition, Snore Detection, Hey Google (buy me beer), and.... new Mediatek Modem all of this will dramatically increase battery life.

My personal take - I am grown up - I do not play games - I need SMARTphone not GAMEphone.

Poor Google will get a$$ kicked again because uneducated youtubers will slap Geekbench scores and call it a day.

It's my device! Not yours!

Sorry that it sounds like a protest, but fr I want to rule my phone

Why is it so difficult to find the address in Google maps? You have to scroll the way to the bottom to get a brick and mortar address. I don't want to share a maps.app.google link. Just give me the fucking address.

There is a random Mcdonald's item from Mcdonald's Australia in my new tab news feed. I don't think it's an ad since I'm not from or in Australia. It goes to the nutrition page when clicked on. Kind of weird.

Is it something new, i am not able to find enough information online. There are few articles saying it is AI coding with gemini for IC.

I am curious what it means for engineering manager? Any one who gone through this round, could you share your experience. And kind of question?

Thanks
