> The Tensor [..] it's still pretty average in practice.
Benchmarks place the Tensor chip at 1.6X to 3X compared to the 765G [1]. Again, my point is, if someone is willing to "bend the truth" to support their narrative, then they have already lost the reader's trust. What value can one possibly place to any subsequent claims they make ?
I don't see the issue with the article's statement really.
> However, time and time again, particularly with its flagships, there has been some kind of compromise.
The Snapdragon 765G in the Pixel 5 is a compromise (if you paid the sticker price, otherwise it wasn't an unreasonable choice).
The Tensor is also a compromise. Good SoC on paper, but not so true in practice: it isn't competitive against the Snapdragon 888, and it offers terrible network connectivity, which a complete showstopper for a lot of people.
