Leaked Benchmarks Tease Pixel 9 Series Power with Tensor G4

HomeTech NewsLeaked Benchmarks Tease Pixel 9 Series Power with Tensor G4

Highlights

  • Tensor G4 features a powerful 1+3+4 core configuration.
  • Early benchmarks show significant performance and efficiency gains.
  • Pixel 9 series scores: Pixel 9 (1,016,167), Pixel 9 Pro (1,148,452), Pixel 9 Pro XL (1,176,410).
  • G4 chipset based on Samsung’s 4nm process with FOWLP packaging.

If the leaked images were not enough, we now have the Pixel 9 series with alleged leaked benchmark numbers, offering a glance at the performance prowess of Google’s latest Tensor G4 chipset.

These early numbers make for an interesting read as the tech world buzzes with excitement.

The Tensor G4, which is at the heart of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, is a powerful and efficient processor with a 1+3+4 core configuration.

This cutting-edge setup features a flagship Cortex-X4 core, flanked by three mid-range Cortex-A720 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A520 cores.

In comparison to previous generations, the Tensor lineup has steadily evolved, with the original Tensor and G2 featuring a 2+2+4 configuration, while the G3 adopted a 1+4+4 array.

According to the benchmarks, the Tensor G4 promises a serious performance bump, courtesy of the Cortex-X4 core.

Arm, the company behind the core design, touts a whopping 15% performance bump compared to its predecessor, with an incredible 40% better power efficiency.

In addition, the Cortex-A720 cores boast a 20% increase in power efficiency, while the Cortex-A510 cores tout similar 22% gains.

While these early benchmarks from ‘Rozetked’ showcase promising results, it’s important to note that the devices are not running final software, and months of optimization and tuning still lie ahead.

AnTuTu scores provide a tantalizing glimpse.

Pixel 9 series scores: Pixel 9 (1,016,167), Pixel 9 Pro (1,148,452), Pixel 9 Pro XL (1,176,410)

The Pixel 9 series outperforms its predecessor:

  • Pixel 8: 877,443 points
  • Pixel 9 (Tokay): 1,016,167
  • Pixel 9 Pro (Caiman): 1,148,452
  • Pixel 9 Pro XL (Komodo): 1,176,410

With the Pixel 10 and Tensor G5 rumored to switch to TSMC’s cutting-edge manufacturing process, the Pixel 9 series and its Samsung-made Tensor G4 may come with a few asterisks for buyers this year.

Previous rumors indicated that the Tensor G4 will be based on Samsung’s latest 4nm process and FOWLP—Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging—packaging method, which should bring enhancements in terms of heat management and power efficiency.

These benchmarks paint an exciting picture, but the real test will only come in terms of how the phones truly perform and the experience they deliver.

With the launch of the device inching closer, tech enthusiasts the world over look forward to witnessing Google’s latest mobile powerhouse.
