What do you want to know
- Google’s Tensor G4, which is expected to power the Pixel 9 series, showed up during the series’ AnTuTu benchmark test.
- According to the test, the chip will use a base ARMv9-A architecture but will only be able to give the Pixel 9 trio a “slight” power increase compared to the Pixel 8 and Tensor G3.
- q1The trio scored 1.07 million, 1.14 million, and 1.17 million points for the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, respectively.
Slowly but surely, more and more information about the Pixel 9 series is emerging, and the latest leaks concern Google’s 2024 chipset.
Rozetked (Russian) spotted the Pixel 9 trio undergoing the hurdles of the AnTuTu benchmark test (via Android Police). Running the Tensor G4, the base Pixel 9 scored 1.07 million points. The middle Pixel 9 Pro reached 1.14 million points, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL reached 1.17 million points.
As the publication notes, these numbers may seem high, but they are only slightly higher than the base Pixel 8, at 900,000. This is likely due to the minimal changes Google made, as the Tensor G4 has a ARMv9-A base architecture.
Simply put, the chip offers one Cortex-A4 at 3.1 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores at 1.95 GHz.
It does not appear that we are in a situation major power increase for the Pixel series with the Tensor G4. However, it should be noted that these early testing numbers are not indicative of the Pixel 9’s final output strength.
Things might get better (or stay the same), so we’ll have to wait until after summer.
For context, last year’s Tensor G3 features a Cortex-X3 core clocked at 2.91 GHz, four Cortex-A715 performance cores (2.37 GHz), and four Cortex-A510 cores (1.7 GHz) . Google’s chip features an extra core dedicated to efficiency, but it falls short of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of speed for its performance and core cores. Additionally, the chip still heats up quite quickly and this is bad news for gamers as their FPS will continuously drop during long gaming sessions.
AI was what Google was counting on – and there’s no reason why that won’t continue to be the case this year.
Since last year, there have been rumors that the Tensor G4 might not be a major driver compared to the G3. The chip is said to use the codename “Zuma Pro”, which builds on the G3’s “Zuma” name. Speculation was leaning toward a more minimal upgrade, as Google reportedly discontinued its newest processor, codenamed “Redondo,” due to significant delays.
Other reports indicate that the chip will rely on Samsung’s third-generation 4nm SF4P process. Once again, this is only slightly better than Tensor G3’s SF4 process. Elsewhere, the entire Pixel 9 series was leaked in live photos just hours before Google’s I/O 2024 main event in May.
