The enthusiasm and expectation for the Pixel 6 series are justified. Google’s new flagship design will use the company’s first mobile processor, Google Tensor. A recent one revealed the CPU and GPU specifications. New information has emerged that portrays a different image of the chipset’s power.
An anonymous source with a Pixel 6 Pro was able to provide information about the Tensor chipset to XDA-Developers. The insider confirmed that the Tensor processor has 2+2+4 CPU cores. He also verified the frequencies.
This information was found in a system file and shows a significant change in the CPU cores from what was previously stated. The CPU cores are 2x Arm Cortex-X1 at 2.802GHz, 2x Cortex-A76 at 2.53GHz, and 4x Cortex-A55 at 1.80GHz. It has the latest 2x Cortex-A78 cores!
Tensor uses older Arm performance cores, but the XDA Developers post states the data was cross-checked against other devices to ensure they hadn’t misunderstood the information.
The Pixel 6 Pro also has 12GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS storage, and an AV1 decoder powered by the Google Tensor processor. It also supports Sony’s LDAC codec and aptX & aptXHD Bluetooth audio codecs.
