Google changed the approach to distribution of RAM in Pixel 10 smartphones. Now out of 12 GB, only about 9 GB is available to the user-the remaining 3 GB are constantly reserved for the AI-Core and Tensor G5 tensor processor.
This is done so that built -in neural -melted functions – such as Live Translate, decryption of calls or Pixel Journal – were launched instantly and did not require loading models from memory at every handling.
In the last generation, Pixel 9 conventional versions gave all the memory for the applications, and the reserve was only among the Pro models with 16 GB of RAM. Now, even the basic smartphones have received a constant “piece” of RAM, assigned to AI.
For most users, this will not be noticeable: 8–9 GB is still enough for multitasking and heavy games. But those who rarely use AI services can calculate such a solution with an empty waste of resources.
However, Google clearly relies on the fact that AI will become a key element of the experience of using Pixel.
