  Extending a recent breakthrough of Shitov, we prove that the chromatic number
of the tensor product of two graphs can be a constant factor smaller than the
minimum chromatic number of the two graphs. More precisely, we prove that there
exists an absolute constant $\delta>0$ such that for all $c$ sufficiently
large, there exist graphs $G$ and $H$ with chromatic number at least
$(1+\delta)c$ for which $\chi(G \times H) \le c$.
