When MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chip is able to handily beat Google's new Tensor G5 SoC in one benchmark test after the other, and that too by simply leveraging ARM's generic technology, clearly Google's silicon design process has left quite a lot to be desired.

Google is now loudly proclaiming its disdain for benchmark tests as the yardstick to measure the success of its silicon design process. Agreed. These tests, after all, do not tell the whole story on their own.

But, when you are charging Apple-level prices for a silicon that shows a proclivity for heating up at the first inkling of a compute-intensive task , there is an evident need for introspection. And, MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 appears willing to show Google the way.
