Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Tensor G3: Is Google's flagship chip already outdated?

Google's new flagship was outdated before they even began planning the circuitry for it. They are 2 years behind Qualcomm... Hopefully this changes in coming iterations.

The Tensor chip is not based on Snapdragon. It shouldn't be compared against it at all. A more comparable chip would be Exynos 2400.
