The Pixel 7a Tensor G2 chip is apparently not built like the others (www.androidcentral.com)

Pixel 7a may've used a worse packaging material for the SOC resulting in higher heat and worse performance compared to pixel 7 and pixel 6

It is very different at least in paper, but for the consumer it's more or less the same. Lower price, lower performant chip. We'll have to wait for benchmarks to know if the downgrade is newsworthy.

Yeah if it isn't a serious performance downgrade and doesn't throttle hard after long periods of thermal load then the downgrade would be justified. Hopefully that's the case.
