The listing does show a few specs related to the processor onboard Pixel 6a although it doesn’t clearly specify if it is a Tensor SoC or not. Per the scores, Google Pixel 6a scores around 1050 points on the single-core test while its multi-core score is 2833 points. Google Pixel 6a spotted on GeekbenchĪccording to the Geekbench database, the upcoming Google Pixel 6a was spotted tagging along with the benchmarking platform. Cut to now, it has been spotted on Geekbench as well which makes its launch imminent. For those waiting on Google to get things “figured out” with its fledgling Tensor series of chips, this may be exactly what you were looking for.Google Pixel 6a has been in the news for a while now and we certainly know a lot about the upcoming device. One final detail all but confirmed by the benchmark is that the Pixel 7 Pro will likely feature 12 GB of RAM just like the Pixel 6 Pro.Īll in all, it looks like the Tensor G2 may not make the Pixel 7 Pro an incredibly exciting update in terms of specs for owners of the Pixel 6 series, but the iterative upgrades could make for a more consistent experience. ![]() On that note, there are also signs that Google intends to include a next generation of its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) - codenamed “Janeiro” - in the Tensor G2, which should offer another boost to the Pixel 7 series. This new GPU is set to offer 20% better performance, 20% better power efficiency, and even 35% better for machine learning use, one of the key focuses of the Tensor line. However, where the Pixel 7 Pro’s Tensor G2 specs do get a significant boost is in its GPU, which switches from the Mali-G78 to the Mali-G710. As Kuba speculates, it’s possible - though far from confirmed - that this design could help make that level of efficiency happen. As my colleague Ben Schoon pointed out, Pixel 7 and Tensor G2 need to catch up to the work the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 did in terms of heat reduction and power efficiency. While this may seem disappointing at first, it’s possible this may work out for the best, as raw performance isn’t what we’re looking for the Pixel 7 to improve upon. All the same, these details should be taken with a grain of salt.Īll this, combined with the 4nm process node that’s used for the chip, contribute to a ~10% multi-core performance enhancement with a negligible single-core change. That said, there are quite a few fine details - which our team has also looked over and confirmed - that point to this Pixel 7 Pro benchmark being legitimate. It should be noted that it’s fairly easy to falsify the information reported by Geekbench. First, though, we need to go through a bit of a disclaimer, as much of the new information is sourced from a new Geekbench listing for the Pixel 7 Pro. Thanks to some expert digging by Android developer Kuba Wojciechowski on Twitter, we now have strong evidence of what the Pixel 7 Pro and its Tensor G2 chip will bring to the table, performance-wise. After making a strong debut in the Pixel 6 series, albeit one that has since lagged behind the competition over the last year, many have been wondering where Google will take the Tensor line next. ![]() One of the bigger mysteries has been the upcoming “Tensor G2” chip, set to be the second generation of the Google Tensor chip created in collaboration with Samsung. Google has already given us an early introduction to the phones, back at Google I/O, but quite a few details have still yet to be confirmed. ![]() We’re all hotly anticipating the launch of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, set to be properly showcased at Google’s October 6 hardware event. A new benchmark has surfaced that gives us a better idea of the Pixel 7 Pro’s specs, particularly the improvements of the CPU and GPU in the Google Tensor G2 chip.
