"Tensor"? Google makes some great stuff but I really wish their product naming conventions weren't so confusing.

First they have the Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and then ... Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9, ... oh wait they aren't versions, they are number of inches ... -____-

And then they have Google Hangouts, Google Hangouts Meet, google Meet, Google Chat, Google Hangouts Dialer, Google Duo, Google Uno, uh ....

And then now TensorFlow and then Tensor ... is that like TensorFlow without the flow?

There's also: - Tensor = the SoC for the Pixel 6 + P6 Pro - Tensor Processing Unit = co-processor on the Tensor SoC, and as a dedicated chip on other Google Phones, - Edge Tensor Processing Unit = a dedicated device (USB/M.2/Chip) for edge compute device (R-Pi Style)
