Geekbench has reportedly revealed Google’s next-generation Tensor G5 chip, expected to power the upcoming Pixel phone lineup. The listing sheds light on the chip’s performance and core configuration, although it was not confirmed by Google.
Listed as Google Frankel in the Geekbench listing (previously referred to as “Laguna” in leaks), the Tensor G5 allegedly scored 1323 points in a single-core test and 4004 points in a multicore test.
As a result, it’s unlikely that the G5 will be able to compete with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite or MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 flagship chips. Even Google appears to struggle to beat these competitors’ last-generation flagship chips.
The Geekbench listing conforms to previous leaks by specifying a clock speed of 3.40 GHz for the high-performance core, 2.86 GHz for the midrange cores, and 2.44 GHz for the low-power cores. Additionally, an Imagination Technologies PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU is included in the listing.
The Tensor G5 is expected to be produced by TSMC instead of Samsung, according to earlier reports. With a die size of approximately 121 mm2, the chip is expected to be manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm N3E process node.
Tensor G5’s early version will likely need significant optimization to improve its benchmark performance.
