While I agree that chips are fast enough that we dont need to bother, for some edge cases as gaming, etc, these things still matter. Besides, I have been burnt once by this thought process. Tensor chip has had(and still does imho) heating issues in India and problems with network reception. Hence, some skepticism with Tensor in particular is justified. I always wait for very long term reviews for these things. Besides, the best time to buy a pixel is the BBD anyway.
